Habitat:  Forests and shrubberies, 1500 - 3300 metres, from Uttar Pradesh to S.W. China[51, 146].

Cultivation Notes: An easily grown plant, it succeeds in most soils but is ill-adapted for poor soils and for dry situations[1]. It prefers a deep rich loamy soil in sun or semi-shade[11, 200]. Best if given shade from the early morning sun in spring[200]. Not all forms of this species are hardy in Britain[11]. Plants are self-incompatible and need to grow close to a genetically distinct plant in the same species in order to produce fruit and fertile seed[11, 200]. A polymorphic species[11]. This form of V. erubescens fruits freely in Britain[200].
