Growth & mature size
Growth & mature size
Expect around 25–50 cm of new growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 1–2 m in height and 1.5–2.5 m in width. Allow room for a dense, rounded, many-stemmed shrub; soil, water, exposure and pruning all influence its final outline.
How to care
How to care
Plant in moisture-retentive soil, away from foundations and buried pipes where its mature size warrants it. Keep the soil evenly moist during establishment and water again whenever the upper soil dries. Top-dress with mature compost once a year in spring, keeping it clear of the stems. Thin older stems as needed to maintain a tidy shape.
