1–1.5m

Width:
1–1.2m

Position:
Full sun to part shade. Prefers a warm, sheltered position with morning sun and protection from harsh afternoon heat and strong winds.

Soil:
Prefers fertile, well-drained, slightly acidic soil enriched with organic matter. Avoid poorly drained or highly alkaline soils.

Uses:

• Garden borders
• Container planting
• Feature shrub
• Courtyards and entranceways
• Scented gardens

Care Tips:

• Water regularly during dry periods, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged
• Mulch annually to retain soil moisture and keep the root zone cool, keeping mulch away from the main stem
• Feed with a fertiliser formulated for acid-loving plants in spring and again in summer to encourage healthy growth and flowering
• Lightly prune after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage bushy growth
• Protect young plants from heavy frost; established plants tolerate light frosts in sheltered positions
