Cultural care
Grows well in most soil types which are moist but well draining. No pruning is generally required although a light trim can be given during late winter to shape.
Apply a slow release fertiliser during spring. Mulch well to help retain moisture during dry periods. Fertilse regularly if grown in containers. Protect from frost.
