Planting guide
Plant in spring or autumn in acidic, well-drained soil enriched with ericaceous compost. Choose a sheltered position away from strong winds and early morning sun.
Care tips
Water regularly during dry spells, particularly while establishing. Feed with an ericaceous fertiliser in spring and mulch annually with bark or leaf mould.
Winter care
Protect buds from cold, drying winds and early morning sun to help prevent frost damage. Apply an annual mulch to protect roots and maintain even soil moisture.
