Advice from our agronomist
Planting. Plant in spring or autumn in a sunny spot, 40–50 cm apart for a hedge. Mix compost into the planting hole and keep the crown level with the soil.
Care. Deadhead faded flower heads to keep the blooms coming. Mulch the soil to keep it moist and weed-free.
Watering and feeding. Water well in dry spells, especially in the first year. In spring apply a general shrub fertiliser or compost.
Pruning and winter. In early spring cut the shrub back by half or to 15–20 cm for more abundant flowering. Hardy, no special protection needed.
