Watering

Moderate regular watering, allowing brief slight drying between soakings

Fertilizing

Balanced perennial feed every four weeks from spring through summer

Pruning

Shorten last year's flowering stems to one or two buds from the older woody framework. Remove thin, weak and dead shoots. Prune in early to mid-spring as growth resumes; avoid winter pruning that exposes new shoots to frost.

Propagation

Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings or by seed. Rooted suckers can be transplanted in winter or autumn

Growing

Best grown in moderately fertile, moist but well-drained soil. Remove suckers to prevent plants spreading widely and forming thickets. Has the potential to become a nuisance if not managed well
