Advice from our agronomist

Planting Plant in September in a sunny or lightly shaded, sheltered spot with fertile, well-drained soil; set the graft union 10–15 cm below the surface so the plant forms its own roots. Protect from late spring frosts and hot midday sun.

Watering In dry weather water rarely but deeply (about 10 L per plant), especially during budding and flowering; never let water stand. Mulch thinly around the roots, keeping mulch away from the buds.

Pruning Do not cut the stems in autumn – this is a shrub. In spring remove only frost-damaged and dead tips and faded flowers.

Feeding and winter care Feed in spring when buds wake with a balanced fertiliser and after flowering with a phosphorus- and potassium-rich fertiliser. Flowers from late May to early June; height 90–150 cm. In autumn mulch the base, tie the branches together and cover with spruce boughs or fleece; remove the cover in spring when night frosts are over.
