Planting guide

Plant in full sun in moist, well-drained soil. Space well to allow for its natural arching shape. Water during dry spells in the first year and mulch in spring.

Care tips

Prune just after flowering, removing one-third of the oldest stems at the base to keep growth youthful and flowering abundant. Mulch annually.

Winter care

Fully hardy and needs no winter protection. Prune immediately after flowering to maintain shape and encourage vigorous new growth.
