Planting guide
Plant in spring or autumn in acidic, well-drained soil enriched with ericaceous compost. Choose a sheltered position away from cold winds and strong early sun.
Care tips
Water regularly during dry spells, particularly in the first few years. Feed with an ericaceous fertiliser in spring and mulch annually with leaf mould or bark.
Winter care
Protect from cold, drying winds and early morning sun to reduce the risk of frost damage to buds. Mulch annually to protect roots and maintain even soil moisture.
