Planting & care
Help it thrive
Planting guide
Plant in spring or early summer in free-draining soil. Choose a sunny or lightly shaded spot, ideally with shelter from cold winds. Water well during dry spells and use a slow-release fertiliser in spring.
Care tips
Protect young plants in winter and avoid overwatering. Remove dead or damaged leaves in spring. Container plants benefit from repotting every few years.
Winter care
In colder areas, protect the crown and roots with fleece or mulch. Ideal for container planting so it can be moved to shelter during severe frost. Ensure free-draining soil to prevent rot.
