Habitat:  Thin woodland and thickets on rich well moistened slopes[74, 109], 900 - 2000 metres in N. Hupeh[109].

Propagation Notes: Seed - best sown as soon as ripe in a cold frame. Stored seed requires 3 - 5 months of cold stratifiction. Germination usually takes place within 1 - 4 months at 20°c[134]. When large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in light shade in a greenhouse for at least their first winter. Once the plants are 25cm or more tall, they can be planted out into their permanent positions, late spring or early summer being the best time to do this. Root cuttings 8cm long, December in a cold frame[11, 78]. Store the roots upside down in sand and pot up in March/April. High percentage[78]. Division of suckers in late winter[11]. Very easy, the suckers can be planted out direct into their permanent positions if required.
