Planting guide

Plant in autumn or spring while the soil is workable. Improve heavy soils with organic matter and water well after planting. Mulch annually to conserve moisture and improve soil condition.

Care tips

Water well during the first growing season. Prune hard every year or every other year to maintain vibrant stem colour and a tidy shape.

Winter care

Exceptionally hardy and unfazed by cold weather. Cut back hard in late winter or early spring to encourage new stems with the strongest colour.
