How To Grow

Good pest and disease resistance

May be targeted by aphids, caterpillars and bullfinches. Aphids and caterpillars can be picked off by hand, and the foliage sprayed with soapy water after.

Full sun

For the best blossom, grow in a sheltered position where the plant will receive 6-8 hours of sunlight daily.

Any moist, well-drained soil

Thrives in a variety of soils as long as they're well-draining. If your soil is particularly clay-heavy and/or gets waterlogged often then consider mixing in plenty of organic matter such as garden compost and possibly some perlite to improve drainage.

Prune lightly

Pruning Group 1 - remove any dead, diseased or damaged branches. Wait until midsummer to do this to avoid the risk of silver leaf infection.
