Yushania anceps Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Prefers an open loam of fair quality[200] and a position sheltered from cold drying winds[11]. Succeeds on peaty soils. Requires abundant moisture and plenty of organic matter in the soil[1, 11]. Grows well in light woodland[122]. A very ornamental plant[11], it often loses its leaves in winter but is very hardy in Britain[25]. Another report says that it is only hardy in the milder areas of Britain whilst yet another says that it tolerates temperatures down to about -20°c. The rhizome is running and can be invasive[11, 25, 122]. It is fairly easy to control, however, because the new shoots are brittle and easily broken off of the plant. New shoots are produced from late May[25]. This species is notably resistant to honey fungus[200]. Plants often flower in Britain, sometimes continuously over a number of years, they are not monocarpic and often produce viable seed[122]. Plants can be badly weakened by flowering but they usually recover, however they are likely to be killed if they are given artificial NPK fertilizers at this time[122].
