Advice from our agronomist
Planting Plant in spring or autumn in well-drained soil; dig the hole twice as wide as the root ball. Water well and mulch.
Watering Water regularly in the first years, especially in dry weather; later a deep soak in drought is enough.
Pruning Shape as needed and remove dead or old branches; prune flowering shrubs after flowering.
Feeding and winter care Feed in spring with compost or slow-release fertiliser; excess nitrogen is not needed. Hardy; protect young plants in the first winter with mulch around the base.
