Help it thrive

Planting guide

Plant in spring or early autumn in a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained soil. Avoid heavy, wet ground and water regularly until established.

Care tips

Grow in full sun and well-drained soil. Prune hard in spring to encourage strong fresh shoots and plenty of flowers.

Winter care

Leave stems in place over winter to protect the crown, then cut back hard in spring when new growth appears.
