Planting guide

Plant in spring or autumn in well-drained soil. Water during dry spells in the first year and mulch annually to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Care tips

Prune lightly in spring to maintain shape and remove any frost-damaged stems. Feed in early spring with a general-purpose fertiliser.

Winter care

Mulch around the base to protect roots from frost. In colder regions, plant in a sheltered spot and expect some leaf drop during very cold spells.
