Planting & care

Help it thrive

Planting guide

Plant in spring or early autumn in well-drained soil, preferably in a sunny, sheltered position. Avoid disturbing the roots when planting, and do not overwater once established.

Care tips

Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape. Avoid cutting into old wood, as regrowth can be poor.

Winter care

Requires little winter care. Ensure good drainage to prevent root rot and avoid heavy pruning, as it dislikes hard cutting back.
