As it normally has multiple stems, it is best grown as a large shrub in the border or in an open woodland garden. It can get very big, so it is best suited to larger gardens.Garden care: Requires minimal pruning. Remove any broken, diseased or crossing branches in late autumn or winter. When planting incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost in the planting hole and stake firmly.Goes well with: Symphoricarpos albus, Euonymus fortunei 'Dart's Blanket', Vinca minor 'Gertrude Jekyll', Lamium galeobdolon 'Hermann's Pride','Symphytum grandiflorum 'Hidcote Pink', Cyclamen coum
