Tips for success
Keep me thriving
My maintenance level is not yet known. Observe the plant’s shape and new growth through the seasons, remove damaged material with clean tools and refresh the mulch when needed without piling it against the stem.
Pruning: Give me a prune in late winter or early spring by thinning out my old woody canes at ground level to encourage new growth.
Flowering: You can expect me to flower in January, February and December. Local climate, position and seasonal conditions can make flowering begin earlier or finish later. Observe the plant rather than pruning by the calendar alone, particularly while buds or flowers are forming.
Watering: Check the soil at root depth regularly and water deeply when it begins to dry. I prefer even moisture without constantly saturated roots. Check more often during establishment and in hot, dry or windy weather.
