Growing Guide
Position
Plant in full sun or partial shade in a sheltered position. It is well suited to coastal gardens and thrives where it receives plenty of light and good air circulation.
Soil
Grow in fertile, free-draining soil. Avoid sites that remain waterlogged during winter, as good drainage is essential for healthy growth.
Watering
Water regularly during the first growing season while the plant establishes. Once established, additional watering is generally only needed during prolonged dry spells, particularly for container-grown plants.
Pruning
Lightly trim after flowering to maintain a neat, bushy shape and encourage fresh growth. Avoid cutting back into old, leafless wood.
