Planting & care
Help it thrive
Planting guide
Plant in spring or autumn in acidic, humus-rich soil that drains well. Choose a sheltered spot in partial shade, ideally protected from strong winds. Incorporate ericaceous compost if needed, and water regularly while establishing. Mulch annually to maintain soil condition and moisture.
Care tips
Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry spells. Feed in spring with an ericaceous fertiliser to support healthy growth and flowering. Prune lightly after flowering if shaping is required.
Winter care
Protect from cold, drying winds and avoid early morning sun on frosted buds, which can damage flowers. Apply a mulch in autumn to protect roots and retain moisture. Container plants may need insulation during prolonged cold spells.
