This plant is native to East Asia (from Siberia to Japan). It has been used in the past (the fruit) in the treatment of diseases of the mouth, teeth and throat. It grows well in any moderately fertile well-drained soil in a sunny location.

For best results in seed propagation: Pre-soak the seed for 24 hours in warm water and then sow in early spring in a cold frame. Plants can also be divided in spring.
