Azorella diapensioides (common name: yareta)
Propagation: Seed - we have no details for this species but suggest sowing the seed in late winter in a cold frame. Grow on for at least the first winter in a greenhouse or frame and plant out in late spring.
Division.
Cultivation: We have very little information on this species and do not know if it will be hardy in Britain, though judging by its native range it should succeed outdoors in many parts of this country. The following notes are based on the general needs of the genus.
Requires a position in full sun in a well-drained gritty soil[1].
Range: Western S. America - Chile
Usage: Yields a fuel which is virtually smokeless - it is used domestically and commercially[2]. This is a rather strange report because we assume that this species is a small herbaceous plant like other members of the genus[K].
Pollinators: Insects
Soil: Can grow in light soils.
Drainage: Prefers well drained soil.
In Leaf: Evergreen
Flower Type: Hermaphrodite
