Light:
Best grown in full sun or light shade. Flowering and compact growth are strongest in a bright, sunny position.

Soil:
Thrives in well-drained soil and adapts to most garden soil types, including clay, provided excess water can drain away.

Water:
Keep watered during the first season while roots establish. Once established, it copes well with occasional dry spells.

Pruning:
Trim lightly in early spring to tidy the plant and encourage new growth. Avoid cutting back into older woody stems.

Hardiness:
Fully hardy across the UK and suitable for exposed sites, including coastal gardens.

Feeding:
Feeding is rarely necessary. A light spring mulch or general-purpose fertiliser is sufficient if growth is weak.
