Cultural care
Grows well in most soil types which are moist but well draining.
Dry tolerant once established but should be given regular deep soaks during extended periods of heat. Old growth should be cut back in late winter and apply a slow release fertiliser at this time to encourage bushy new growth and profuse flowering.
Mulch well to help retain moisture during dry periods.
