Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant in sun in stony or sandy, well-drained soil; add grit to heavy soil. Space 20–25 cm apart.
Watering and feeding. Water after planting and in long dry spells; established plants are drought tolerant. Hardly any feeding is needed.
Care. Deadhead to prolong flowering. Cut out any shoots that revert to plain green to keep the variegation.
Gardener's tip. Winter wet is more dangerous than cold – plant on a raised spot or in a rock garden.
