Planting & Care Guide
Position: Prefers full sun or partial shade. A sunny, sheltered position will encourage the best flowering and fragrance.
Soil: Grows best in fertile, moist but well-drained soil. It adapts well to loam, chalk and most garden soils provided they don't remain waterlogged.
Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish the roots. Once established, it only requires occasional watering during prolonged dry periods.
Maintenance:
- Tie in new shoots as they grow to encourage even coverage.
- Prune after flowering to maintain shape and encourage fresh flowering growth the following season.
- Apply a balanced fertiliser in spring to support healthy foliage and abundant blooms.
- Mulch around the base each spring to help retain moisture and improve soil structure.
