Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant from spring to autumn in sun or partial shade in light, free-draining soil. For ground cover space plants about 20–25 cm apart.
Watering and feeding. Water after planting and in dry spells; it dislikes both long drought and standing water. Needs little feeding – a thin layer of compost in spring is enough.
Care. The mat thickens by itself. Overgrown edges can be cut off with a spade and the pieces replanted elsewhere.
Winter. Overwinters outdoors. In snowless frost cover lightly with conifer branches.
