This is one of the most hardy of European shrubs, and one of the few 
which grow in the open gardens of Petersburg and Stockholm, without pro- 
tection during winter. In British gardens, the plant is very common, and it is 
valued for its early leafing and flowering. It will grow in any soil, and almost 
in any situation, and is readily propagated by cuttings.
