Tips for success
Keep me thriving
Light suitability: Full Sun to Part Shade (4+ hours of direct sun). Consider local heat, wind and seasonal shade, and follow any more specific advice on the plant label.
I have low maintenance needs, but still appreciate a little attention. 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: Bird and bee attracting Occasional tidying or pruning maintains appearance.
Flowering: You can expect me to flower in January, February, March, April, August, September, October, November 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: Even after I am established, check the soil at root depth periodically. Water slowly and deeply during extended dry periods and unusually hot or windy weather rather than watering frequently and shallowly. Monitor moisture more closely while the roots are still spreading into the surrounding soil.
