Advice from our agronomist
Planting Plant in spring in a sunny spot with dry, well-drained soil; wet soil is unsuitable. Space plants 25–30 cm apart.
Watering Water only in the first year and in long droughts; excess moisture is harmful.
Pruning Comb out dry leaves in spring and divide when needed; no cutting back is required.
Feeding and winter care No feeding is needed; too much food dulls the leaf colour. Hardy; no cover is needed.
