Advice from our agronomist
Planting Plant in spring in a sunny, sheltered spot in well-drained soil. Space plants 1.5–2 m apart.
Watering Water regularly in the first year, later only in long dry spells.
Pruning In spring, as buds swell, cut the shrub hard back to 20–30 cm; deadhead through the summer.
Feeding and winter care Feed in spring with compost or a slow-release fertiliser. In autumn cover the base with a thick layer of mulch or spruce branches; cut frost-damaged shoots in spring.
