Plant Details

Growing Guide

Position

Plant in partial shade or dappled shade where it is protected from strong afternoon sun. It is ideal beneath deciduous trees and shrubs or in woodland-style planting, although it will also grow in full sun where the soil remains reliably moist.

Watering

Water regularly during the first growing season while establishing. Once established, water during prolonged dry periods, particularly in spring and summer.

Soil

Grow in fertile, humus-rich, moisture-retentive but well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Avoid prolonged waterlogging, especially during winter.

Hardiness and Winter Care

Fully hardy throughout Ireland. Remove older leaves in late winter before flowering begins to display the blooms clearly and improve air circulation. Apply an annual mulch of compost or leaf mould to maintain soil fertility and moisture.

Routine Care

Feed in spring with a balanced fertiliser after flowering. Established plants prefer not to be disturbed and generally perform best when left to form substantial clumps.

Perfect For

• Woodland gardens.
• Shaded borders.
• Courtyard and patio containers.
• Underplanting deciduous trees.
• Winter and early spring garden displays.

Good to Know

'Penny's Pink' is part of the Frostkiss® series, combining attractive marbled foliage with exceptional winter flowering. The flowers naturally deepen in colour as they age, extending the plant's ornamental appeal throughout the flowering season.
