Plant Care

Plant in a full sun position in sandy, gravelly or well-drained soil. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce watering once plants are established, allowing the soil to dry between applications. Avoid heavy, waterlogged soils, particularly during winter, as excessive moisture can cause root rot. Lightly trim after flowering if required to maintain a compact, tidy shape and encourage fresh growth. Apply a light application of slow-release fertiliser in spring if needed. Protect from severe frost, especially in poorly drained conditions.
