Cultivation
Plants are very floriferous and can exhaust themselves, literally flowering themselves to death. The flowers are borne in the leaf nodes of the previous years growth and any pruning is therefore best done as soon as the plant has finished flowering[4]. There are some named forms selected for their ornamental value[2].
Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[2].Crops
