Planting guide

Plant in autumn or spring. Water regularly in the first season. Choose a sheltered location to protect flower buds from harsh winds. Space well if planting as a hedge.

Care tips

Water during dry spells, apply mulch in spring, and trim to shape after flowering. Feed annually for best results.

Winter care

Little winter care is required; mulch in autumn for insulation and moisture retention. Prune lightly in late spring if necessary.
