This Garrya elliptica can be found in Dunham Massey; these pictures were taken early April. The silk tassel bush was planted intentionally for its ornamental benefits within the winter botanical garden. It is not uncommon for this plant to be planted for ornamental purposes, particularly as their catkins are a nice bright winter feature. Within this setting, the Garrya elliptica was planted for the sole appreciation of the plant, for this reason it is located within a large planting bed of various other ornamental winter plants. However, it is common for this plant to be found around buildings (usually if designers wish to hide the bad aesthetic qualities of surrounding architecture).
The plant can thrive in full-sun and partial shade, making them tolerant to most weather conditions.
