Notes : Genus of about 30 species. Bears bell-shaped flowers in Summer. If grown in too much shade, the foliage turns a green-yellow colour rather than golden. Grow in fertile, well-drained soil. Prune it lightly in late Winter or early Spring to encourage new growth and to control its shape. Propagate by rooting greenwood cuttings in early Summer or semi-ripe cuttings in late Summer.
