Advice from our agronomist
Planting Plant in spring in a sunny spot in free-draining, dry to moderately moist, lime-rich soil, 25–30 cm apart.
Watering Water only in long dry spells; excess moisture causes rot.
Pruning Trim lightly in spring after the frosts and after flowering to keep the plant compact.
Feeding and winter care Feed sparingly – spring compost is enough; too much fertiliser reduces the aroma. Hardy, but needs a well-drained spot; wet winter soil is dangerous.
