[edit] Ecology
An assessment of the potential impact of climate change on this species found that its range is unlikely to contract and may actually grow, depending on how effectively it migrates into newly habitable areas.[1]
[edit] Cultivation
Seeds do not require any treatment, and take 19 to 48 days to germinate.[2]
