Care

Plant in a well drained humus rich soil in a sunny position. A little afternoon shade is suitable in hot dry areas.

  • Choose a well drained humus rich soil. In wet or clay soils consider mounding or hilling up the soil to improve drainage.
  • Water through the first summer and in long dry periods.
  • Mulch around the plant to maintain a cool root run.
