How To Grow

Good pest and disease resistance

Can have issues with Scale Insects, Mealybugs and Thrips.

Water regularly in summer

Water to keep the ground consistently moist. During very hot and dry periods it could require watering every day.

Partial to full shade

Too much direct sunlight can cause damage to the foliage so it is best to plant somewhere with at least partial shade throughout the day.

Any fertile, well-drained soil

Mix in plenty of organic matter such as garden compost into the soil before planting and top up every spring. If your soil is particularly clay-heavy and easily becomes waterlogged, add some perlite into the soil to improve drainage.

Feed in spring

In springtime feed with blood, fish and bone meal to giveyour plant a boost of nutrients. ?v=1613300718
