Light:
An open, sunny position encourages the best flower production; light shade is tolerated but reduces flowering.

Soil:
Performs well in free-draining soils of almost any type, including chalk and sand; avoid heavy, water-retentive ground.

Water:
Water regularly during establishment; once settled, it is tolerant of dry conditions and rarely needs additional watering.

Pruning:
Cut back in early spring to promote fresh shoots and maintain a balanced, compact shape.

Hardiness:
Fully hardy throughout the UK.

Feeding:
Feeding is rarely required; an annual mulch in spring is sufficient where soils are poor.
