Cultural care
Grows well in most soil types which are moist but well draining. Frost tolerant.
Best in part shade location but will tolerate sunny locations if given moist but well draining soil and some protection from harsh afternoon heat. Water needs are moderate but do not allow to dry out over extended periods of heat. No pruning required. Apply slow release fertiliser during spring for best performance.
