General

The wood is native to northern Siberia. However, it is relatively rare with us planted because its small flowers not appreciated adequately despite long inflorescences. In addition, the style trends because of its offshoots for naturalizing. It therefore is best tackled as understory under tall trees in sparse expansive parks.
