Small tree or shrub with wide, rounded foliage that is not too dense.<\/p>\n

15\/20 cm long bunches made up of numerous small flowers. The color ranges from white to scarlet red depending on the variety and species.<\/p>\n

The fruit is a rounded capsule, which opens when ripe.<\/p>\n

clayey or calcareous, rich and with a good texture<\/p>\n
moderately acidic to neutral<\/p>\n
It can be planted in practically every area of \u200b\u200bItaly with the exception of excessively cold mountain areas<\/p>\n
In the soil when young it should be watered every 2 weeks and at maturity regular rains are enough. In pots it will need to be watered regularly without stagnation in the saucer.<\/p>\n
by seed – collected at the end of summer and sown in autumn – by woody cutting taken in summer or by layering.<\/p>\n
As it grows, growth pruning must be done, which you need to know how to do. Since it blooms on the branches of the year, pruning, on the adult plant, should be done at the end of the frosts, that is, at the end of February at about \u00be of the length of the branch.
