Cultivation Notes:  Prefers a rich well-drained moisture retentive soil[11, 200]. Prefers a slightly acid soil but tolerates some alkalinity if plenty of organic matter is added to the soil[200]. Requires some protection from the most intense sunlight[200]. Prefers light shade but tolerates full sun if the soil is reliably moist and the roots are in shade[202]. Plants are intolerant of drought[K]. The fully dormant plant is hardy to about -15°c[184], though the young growth in spring can be damaged by late frosts. Plants are of slow to moderate growth rate[202]. The shoots are semi-twining, but plants often require some support by tying the plant in[202]. Dioecious. Male and female plants must be grown if seed is required. Another report says that the plants are monoecious (male and female flowers are separate but are found on the same plant)[182].
