Cultivation details
Requires a permanently moist soil[200]. Prefers an acid soil[260]. Tolerates shade[200]. Plants are not very cold-hardy, tolerating occasional short-lived lows to about -3°c[260]. They generally require greenhouse protection in Britain[1], though might succeed outdoors in the mildest areas of the country if given a suitable position. Plants tolerate temperatures down to about -7°c in Australian gardens, though this cannot be applied directly to British gardens due to our cooler summers that fail to fully ripen the wood and our longer, wetter winters[157, K].
