Cultivation Notes:  Prefers a position in sun or light shade in a deep humus rich soil[200], but succeeds in ordinary garden soil[134]. Succeeds in almost any soil so long as it is not very wet or very dry[202]. Flowers better in a warm sheltered position[200]. Plants are subject to windburn if they are not in a sheltered position[200]. This species is generally hardy in the open in Britain, tolerating temperatures down to about -15°c[184], though young plants are less hardy[219]. The new growth in spring can be damaged by late frosts[202]. Cultivated for its edible fruit in Chile[123]. The flowers are sweetly fragrant and vanilla scented[184, 245].
