Cultivation
This species is recorded in [10] as only being hardy in zone 9, which means that it is unlikely to succeed outdoors in any but the very mildest areas of the country. Considering the plant's native range, this is almost certainly a mistake[K]. Another report says that the plant withstands extreme cold and very dry spells in its native habitat[2]. This is a fast-growing and relatively long-lived plant in the wild[2]. Flowers are produced in spring on the ends of new growth[2].
Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[10].Crops
