How to grow
Plant in full sun in a well-drained soil, raised garden bed or pot. Mulch with aged compost in autumn. Water regularly during establishment, then only as required as it has an aversion to wet feet. Prune regularly to maintain compactness and reduce woody growth. Can be shortlived, beneficial to replace every three years.
