Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant in a sunny spot in well-drained soil; container plants can go in from spring to autumn. For a hedge, space plants 40–50 cm apart.
Watering and feeding. Water regularly in dry spells during the first year; once established it copes well with drought. A general shrub fertiliser in spring is enough.
Care. In early spring remove old and weak stems and shorten shoots by a third to keep the shrub dense and free-flowering.
Gardener's tip. 'Abbotswood' flowers most in full sun; its white blooms pair beautifully with silver- and blue-leaved plants.
