Planting & care

Help it thrive

Planting guide

Plant in spring in a warm, sunny, sheltered position. Improve drainage with grit if needed and avoid heavy, wet soils. Water regularly while establishing, then only during prolonged dry spells.

Care tips

Trim lightly after flowering to keep the plant compact and shapely. Avoid cutting into old, woody growth. Feed sparingly, as overly rich soil can encourage soft growth that is more vulnerable in winter.

Winter care

Best grown in a sheltered, sunny spot with free-draining soil. Protect from cold, drying winds and avoid winter waterlogging. In colder areas, grow in a pot and move to a frost-free or sheltered position.
