Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant in spring or autumn in sun or part shade; 60–80 cm apart for a hedge. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and add compost.
Care. The shrub grows in almost any soil and tolerates damp sites. Mulch around the base with an organic mulch.
Watering and feeding. Water regularly in the first year and generously in dry spells. In spring apply a general shrub fertiliser or compost.
Pruning and winter. Stem colour is brightest on young shoots, so each early spring cut the oldest stems to the ground or cut the whole shrub back to 20–30 cm. Completely hardy, no protection needed.
