Fruits

Brownish, inconspicuous

Roots

Flat roots, exceptionally dense, wiry, tough roots; sensitive to soil compaction

Demands

Sun to light shade, though its shade tolerance is often overestimated; some flowers more colourful in the shade; tolerant of warmth, usually frost hardy; not demanding, robust; only sensitive to heat and drought, some varieties are tolerant of urban pollution, wind resistant
