Fertilizing

Balanced perennial feed every four weeks from spring through summer

Pruning

Routine pruning is unnecessary; shorten overlong shoots to fit the available space. For last-year flowering growth, prune after flowering; for current-year flowering growth, prune in late winter or spring. This guidance is for established plants.

Propagation

Propagate by semi-hardwood cuttings in summer

Growing

Tolerant of a range of soils and conditions but grows best in fertile, humus-rich well-drained alkaline soil in a sheltered spot. Ideal for patio containers, or in a border. See hedera (ivy) cultivation
