Cultivation
Tolerating temperatures down to about -10°c, this species is somewhat tender in most parts of Britain[2] though it usually regrows if cut back by frost[5]. The young shoots in spring are often cut back by late frosts[K]. Very tolerant of root disturbance, it transplants well even when quite large though it would then require staking at first when growing in exposed positions[12]. A number of cultivars have been developed for their ornamental value[11][5]. Plants in this genus are notably resistant to honey fungus[5].
Dioecious. Male and female plants must be grown if seed is required. It self-sows abundantly in the milder areas of Britain if both sexes are grown[2].Crops
