How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water well for the first year for the plant to fully establish and become more drought tolerant. Top up water in dry periods.
Pruning
This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season's flowers.
Fertilizer
If required use slow release fertiliser in spring.

Sunlight
This shrub does best in full sun to partial shade.
Soil
It requires an evenly moist well-drained soil for optimal growth, but will die in standing water. It is very fussy about its soil conditions and must have rich, acidic soils to ensure success, and is subject to chlorosis (yellowing) of the leaves in alkaline soils.
Temperature
Tolerates frost and moderate drought (as the plant matures it becomes more drought tolerant).
