Planting guide
Choose a sunny, sheltered spot and plant in spring in well-drained soil. Add grit to improve drainage if needed. Space out plants for airflow and water well after planting. Feed regularly through the growing season.
Care tips
Feed monthly with a high-potassium fertiliser from spring to late summer. Deadhead to prolong flowering. Protect roots from frost in winter by lifting containers or adding a thick mulch.
Winter care
Mulch well in autumn or move containers to a sheltered position to avoid frost damage. Keep soil on the dry side in winter to prevent root rot.
