trained to a single stem and the head allowed to expand freely. They
are not particular as to soil, but prefer a rather light one, and
succeed best in a moist, shady situation. Cuttings or layers root

occasionally cutting away some of the old branches to make room for
new growth. Height, 1-1/2 ft. to 2 ft.
