- This plant is susceptible to snow pressure. In snowy areas, it is therefore advisable to wrap the branches with string. Otherwise, they may split apart and may not fully recover. When the snow season is over, the twine must of course be removed.

Container plants can be planted all year round, except when the soil is frozen and in summer heat (over 30°C).
