Perfect for large gardens or public spaces such as parks.
History: Introduced in 1968 in America.
Growing Tips: Very easy to grow in a wide range of well-drained soils. They thrive in sun but with partial shade to protect the leaves from scorch. A sheltered area away from strong winds is preferred.
