For free-standing plants: Prune lightly as needed to remove unwanted shoots and keep the shrub in shape. Prune in mid- to late spring.

Prune annually after flowering on last-year growth, or in late winter or early spring on current-year growth.

Growing

Grow under glass or indoors in a loam-based potting compost in full light. When in growth water freely and apply a balanced liquid fertiliser monthly. Water sparingly in winter, keeping barely moist. Can be grown outdoors in warmer climates
