Growing Guide
Position
Plant in full sun or partial shade. In warmer or drier locations, partial shade helps maintain the richest foliage colour, while brighter positions encourage the strongest golden tones where soil moisture is adequate.
Watering
Water regularly during the first growing season while establishing. Once established, water during prolonged dry spells, particularly when grown in containers, to keep the foliage looking fresh.
Soil
Grow in fertile, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Avoid prolonged waterlogging, although the plant appreciates consistent moisture during active growth.
Hardiness and Winter Care
Fully hardy throughout Ireland. Leave the evergreen foliage in place through winter, then comb through or trim away any damaged leaves in late winter or early spring before fresh growth appears.
Routine Care
Requires very little maintenance. Divide mature clumps every few years in spring if they become congested to maintain vigour and produce additional plants.
Perfect For
- Mixed borders.
- Patio containers.
