Planting guide

Plant in spring or autumn in acidic, well-drained soil enriched with ericaceous compost. Choose a sheltered spot away from cold winds and early morning sun.

Care tips

Water regularly during dry periods, especially while establishing. Feed with an ericaceous fertiliser in spring and mulch annually with leaf mould or bark.

Winter care

Protect flower buds from harsh winds and early morning sun to prevent frost damage. Mulch annually to protect roots and maintain soil moisture.
