Habitat:  Not known

Cultivation Notes: Prefers a fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil, requiring a position in full sun[200]. When grown in warm Temperate zones, this species can withstand short periods of temperatures as low as -5°c[200]. In Britain, it is only likely to succeed outdoors in the very mildest parts of the country, and even then would probably require the protection of a south-facing wall. There are some cultivars, developed for their ornamental value[200]. 243034
