Planting guide

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil against a trellis, pergola, or fence. Ensure roots are shaded while the top enjoys sun. Water thoroughly during establishment.

Prune to shape after flowering. Keep roots cool and moist. Feed in spring with a balanced fertiliser and water well during dry spells.

Winter care

Prune after flowering to control shape and size. Apply mulch around the base in late autumn to retain moisture and insulate roots.
