Cultural care

Grows well in most soil types but thrives in well drained soil containing plenty of compost.
Water requirements are low once established requiring only occasional deep watering during
extended periods of heat. Pruning generally not required although if you wish to rejuvenate an
older clump - shear back to ground level and fresh new foliage will appear in 6-8 weeks.
Apply a slow release fertiliser during early spring for optimum results.
