Care
Flowers form on the previous year’s shoots. For a garland effect, allow basal shoots to grow and flower in the second year. Avoid pruning plants unless to keep to a desired shape. Best grown in moist to well-draining soils; clay-loam. Low water requirements once established. Fertilise regularly throughout the active growing season with an all-purpose fertiliser.
*Protect from hot westerly aspects in hotter climates.
