How to grow

Plant in full sun or light, dappled shade in a border, pot or woodland area, and water well. The soil should be free-draining with plenty of organic matter added. To keep 'Little Lanterns' compact, cut it back to 30cm in March; this encourages new, strong shoots with bright foliage.

Plant height and spread are seasonal, so this listing refers to pot size rather than a defined plant size. The size of the plant delivered will vary with the time of year, and images are an indication only.
