Planting & care
Help it thrive
Planting guide
Plant in spring or autumn in moist but well-drained soil. It performs best in partial shade but can tolerate full sun if kept evenly moist. Water regularly while establishing.
Care tips
Trim away tired foliage in spring to maintain a neat appearance. Avoid allowing the soil to dry out completely during hot weather, particularly in containers.
Winter care
Minimal winter care is needed. Remove any damaged leaves in early spring to refresh the plant. Ensure containers have good drainage to prevent waterlogging during wet weather.
