Growth & mature size
Growth & mature size
Expect around 20–40 cm of new growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 0.5–1 m in height and 1–1.5 m in width. Allow room for a compact, spreading shrub; soil, water, exposure and pruning all influence its final outline.
How to care
How to care
Plant in fertile, well-drained soil. 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 lightly after the main spring growth to maintain the desired outline and encourage fresh shoots.
