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 softwood or semi-ripe cuttings in spring to late summer or hardwood cuttings in winter

Growing

Grows well in most moist soils, tolerant of all but the most extreme conditions, in full sun or light shade. Especially suitable for large borders and woodland planting
