They are variably dome shaped, some are semi-evergreen, flowering before the kidney-shaped leaves are formed. These are simple or toothed, basal, usually dark green, often purple beneath. Sometimes marbled silver or white. The stout rootstock resents disturbance. Neutral to alkaline soil best. Thrive in heavy soils. Top dress each year with leaf mould or garden compost in autumn
