Planting & care

Help it thrive

Planting guide

Plant in spring or autumn in acidic, humus-rich, well-drained soil. Avoid alkaline soils. Position in partial shade and shelter from strong winds. Mulch annually with ericaceous material to maintain soil conditions.

Care tips

Water regularly during dry spells, especially when young or in containers. Use rainwater in hard water areas. Prune lightly after flowering if shaping is needed.

Winter care

Fully hardy in the UK, though young plants should be protected from cold winds and severe frost. Avoid exposed sites and ensure soil remains free-draining to prevent winter damage.
