An elegant species with very original flowers: creamy white with a central tuft of dark purple black stamens. In autumn all flowers turn green. Blossoms only on the new wood form June to September. As not fully hardy, it’s best grown in a wind sheltered position e.g. on a wall facing south. Thrives best in moist well drained soil. It also requires good protection in winter.
Best suited for cultivation in containers that are transferred in winter to a cold room with the temperature between 0^oC and 5^oC.
