Planting guide

Plant in spring or early summer in free-draining soil. Choose a sunny, sheltered spot and water well until established. In pots, use a gritty compost mix and ensure good drainage.

Care tips

Water regularly during dry spells in the first season. Remove any damaged leaves at the base to keep it tidy. Feed container-grown plants in spring.

Winter care

Protect the crown in colder regions with fleece or mulch; move containers to sheltered spots or wrap pots. Mature plants in the ground generally cope with mild UK winters.
