Cultivation. It's grown with great ease in almost all areas. But it does best in 

 loose, warm soil. It's easily propagated from seeds sown in beds of loose earth. It then 

 should be planted in small pots. In northern France it has to be protected from frost for 

 about two years because of its sensitivity to cold. At the end of this period, if the saplings 

 are sturdy, they can be planted permanently. The bush becomes very hardy thereafter.
