Planting guide
Plant in spring or autumn into well-prepared, moist but well-drained soil. Water well after planting and mulch around the base. For hedging, space plants around 50–100cm apart depending on the desired density.
Care tips
Trim lightly after flowering or during the growing season to maintain shape. Feed in spring with a balanced slow-release fertiliser and water during prolonged dry spells while establishing.
Winter care
Hardy in most UK gardens, but protect young plants from cold drying winds. Water potted plants sparingly in dry winter spells and avoid waterlogged compost.
