=== Soil and water ===

The species is associated with streambanks, mountain forests and other wet places. Cultivation guidance favors moisture-retentive but well-drained loam; sandy or loamy soil is preferred, while poor performance is noted in clay.<sup>[[#cite_note-2|[2]]]</sup><sup id="cite_ref-3">[[#cite_note-3|[3]]]</sup> The practical target is a root zone that stays evenly supplied with moisture but does not remain saturated. On heavy ground, drainage is therefore as important as water-holding capacity.
