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.
