Growth & mature size
Growth & mature size
Expect around 20–40 cm of seasonal spread or fresh growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 0.2–0.4 m in height and 1–2 m in width. The foliage stays low while the stems spread laterally, so allow room beyond the initial planting area.
How to care
How to care
Plant in well-drained soil and water until the groundcover has spread. Water deeply through the first growing seasons and during prolonged dry spells later on. Top-dress with mature compost once a year in spring, keeping it clear of the stems. Trim wandering stems at the edges to keep growth within its allotted area.
