Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant in spring in full sun on well-drained ground. For a continuous carpet, space plants 1-1.5 m apart.
Care. Tolerates poor, sandy soil but not waterlogging. Keep weeds down around young plants and mulch with gravel.
Watering and feeding. Water regularly in the first year; later rainfall is usually enough. Feed very little, a light dose of conifer fertiliser in spring.
Winter care and pruning. Hardy and needs no winter cover. No pruning is needed; shorten overlong shoots in spring if desired.
