Pedoclimatic needs
It adapts to fertile, light and well-drained soils. It prefers sunny exposures and resists drought well. It fears the cold and intense frosts, so in colder climates it is advisable to spread a layer of mulching material (bark, straw, dry leaves) at the base of the plant to protect the roots from frost and humidity.
