Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with free-draining soil and add grit to heavy ground. Water young plants in dry spells, then leave them largely to themselves. Trim lightly after flowering each year to keep plants tidy, avoiding cuts into old bare wood.
Supplied as young plants in growing pots, shipped directly from our partner growers. Plants are living products, so size and shape can vary slightly from the photo.
