As a garden plant, it is often plagued by lack of hardiness, insect and disease problems. This species is an important parent of many garden hybrids and therefore is often named D. x elatum where the x means it is a cross of different species.

Good vertical accent.
Make sure stems are rinsed in tap water prior to cutting under water to remove excess debris that could clog the stems.
