Cultural care

Plant in most soil types which are well draining. Once established, very dry tolerant requiring only occasional long soaks during extended periods of heat. A hard prune to shape should be given during late winter to tidy and encourage a dense, neat habit. Apply slow release fertiliser during late spring for optimum performance.
