Growing & Maintenance Tips
Grows best with cool, moist roots and mid-afternoon shade. They can tolerate full sun to partial shade, dry to drought conditions, and a range of soil types. They can be pruned any time of the year, and can be used for topiary, hedging, and stand-alone specimens. Young plants benefit from winter protection (burlap wrap) in an exposed location. Damage or stem breakage may occur in the winter from ice and snow accumulation.
Notes
Notable specimens can be found at The A.M. (Mac) Cuddy Garden, Strathroy, Ontario.
