Growth Characteristics:
- Environment: It grows in sunny locations and prefers well-drained soil. It tolerates some dryness but should avoid prolonged excessive moisture.
- Growth: New shoots emerge in early spring, and flowers typically bloom in April or May. After the flowers fade, it produces feather-shaped fruits.

Propagation Methods:
