Advice from our agronomist
Planting Plant in spring or autumn in part shade or shade in lightly moist, humus-rich soil. Space plants 50–60 cm apart.
Watering Water regularly so the soil does not dry out; in drought the foliage yellows sooner.
Pruning Cut yellowing foliage down in midsummer – the plant is entering dormancy, which is normal.
Feeding and winter care No feeding is needed; too much food makes the plant floppy. Hardy; no cover is needed.
