- Les notes suivantes sont basées sur les besoins généraux du genre .
- Thrives in most soils and in the light shade of trees [1].
- Pousse bien dans les sols très argileux .
- Prefers a moist soil in sun or semi-shade [200].
- Prefers a calcareous soil .
- Members of this genus seem to be immune to the predations of rabbits and deer [233].
- Grows well in open woodlands [1, 4].
- A greedy plant, inhibiting the growth of nearby species, especially legumes [54].
Propagation
- Graine - le mieux est de semer dès qu'elles sont mûres sous un chassis [111].
- The seed can be stratified and sown in spring but will then be slow to germinate [133].
- When large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in a cold frame for their first winter .
- Plantez les en extérieur à la fin du printemps ou au début de l'été .
- Division - best done in spring but it can also be done in autumn [1, 111].
- Another report says that division is best carried out in the autumn or late winter because the plants come into growth very early in the year [233].
