Planting guide

Plant in full sun in well-drained soil. Avoid planting in heavy, waterlogged areas. Space well to allow for its mature size and airflow.

Care tips

Prune hard in early spring to maintain shape and encourage better flowering. Water in dry spells and feed with a balanced fertiliser as growth begins.

Winter care

Cut back hard in early spring to promote vigorous new growth and better flowering. Mulch the base in colder regions to protect roots from frost. Deciduous – foliage dies back in winter.
