Planting guide

Plant in spring or early autumn in a warm, sheltered spot. Incorporate grit or sand into the planting hole to improve drainage and avoid heavy, waterlogged soils.

Care tips

Water regularly during the first growing season, then sparingly. Lightly trim after flowering to maintain shape. Avoid overfeeding, which can reduce flowering.

Winter care

Protect from cold, wet winter conditions by ensuring excellent drainage. In colder areas, grow in a sheltered position or container that can be moved to a frost-free spot.
