How to grow

Grow in patio containers or borders in any moist, well-drained soil, in sun or semi-shade, protected from cold winter winds. Move container plants to a frost-free position over winter; give border plants winter protection such as an autumn mulch of chipped bark or leaf mould. Feed and water regularly until established. Cut old stems back to the base in spring to encourage new growth; in very mild areas where stems survive winter, simply prune lightly in spring to shape.

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.
