How to grow

Grow in fertile, moist, well-drained soil in full sun or semi-shade. Prefers acid to neutral soil but tolerates more alkaline conditions, though leaves may yellow on very chalky ground. Dig in well-rotted manure or compost before planting. Water regularly until established and mulch in spring. After flowering, cut flowered shoots back to a healthy pair of buds unless you want the seedheads. Tolerates hard pruning and can be cut back by half every few years to keep it smaller; on mature plants remove a quarter to a fifth of the oldest shoots to the base.

Plant height and spread are seasonal, so plants are listed by pot size. The size of the plant delivered will vary with the season and images are an indication only.
