Tips for success
Keep me thriving
I have medium maintenance needs and benefit from regular attention. Remove damaged material with clean tools, maintain an open and healthy shape, and refresh the mulch when needed without piling it against the stem.
Pruning: Removing spent flowers and foliage at the base will improve my appearance and improve airflow from which I will benefit.
Flowering: You can expect me to flower in September, October, November and December. Local climate, position and seasonal conditions can make flowering begin earlier or finish later. Observe the plant rather than pruning by the calendar alone, particularly while buds or flowers are forming.
Watering: Check the soil at root depth regularly and water deeply when it begins to dry. I prefer even moisture without constantly saturated roots. Check more often during establishment and in hot, dry or windy weather.
