Cultural Care
WATER REQUIREMENTS:
Low. Once established, quite dry tolerant requiring only occasional long soak during extended periods of heat.
Grows well in most soil types but thrives in fertile, well draining soils. Trim off around one third of overall size in early spring to maintain shape and encourage a dense, bushy habit. An application of slow release fertiliser in early spring is recommended for best results
