• The closely related A. pallidiflora (some authorities consider this species to be no more than a sub-species of A. pallidiflora) is hardy in the milder areas of the country[200, 257] The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus .
• Prefers a warm sunny sheltered position and a well-drained soil .
• Réussi dans la plupart des sols .
• The flowers are very attractive to bees .

Propagation

• Graines - semez au printemps sous serre et recouvrez à peine les graines .
• The seed usually germinates in 1 - 3 months at 13°c [133].
• Prick out the seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle and grow them on in the greenhouse for their first year .
• Plantez les à la fin du printemps ou au début de l'été [K].
• Division au printemps .
• Fairly simple, if large divisions are used it is possible to plant them straight out into their permanent positions .
• Basal cuttings of young shoots in spring [111].
• Harvest the young shoots when they are about 10 - 15cm tall and pot them up in a lightly shaded position in a greenhouse .
• They should root within 3 weeks and can be planted out in the summer or following spring .
