Planting & care
Help it thrive
Planting guide
Plant in spring or early autumn in free-draining soil and a sunny position. Space plants well to encourage airflow and avoid overly rich soil, which can reduce flowering and compact growth.
Care tips
Trim lightly after flowering to maintain a neat shape. Avoid overwatering once established and feed sparingly to encourage strong scent and flower production.
Winter care
Ensure plants remain in well-drained soil during winter to prevent root rot. Lightly trim after flowering but avoid cutting into old wood late in the season.
