Advice from our agronomist
Planting Plant in spring or late August–early September in sun or part shade in humus-rich, moisture-retentive soil, 25–30 cm apart.
Watering Water moderately; it prefers moist soil, so water regularly in dry spells.
Pruning Remove dead leaves in spring and autumn; renew plants every 3–4 years.
Feeding and winter care Feed in spring with a berry fertiliser and during flowering; mulch with compost for winter. Hardy; protect with a light layer of mulch over winter.
