Care guide:

1. Choosing the Right Location

  • Sunlight: Thrives in partial to full shade, making it ideal for shady corners of the garden.
  • Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter.
  • Spacing: Space plants 50–70cm apart for hedging or mass planting.

2. Planting Time

  • Best Time to Plant: Spring (September–November) or autumn (March–May).

3. Preparing the Planting Site

  • Soil Preparation: Incorporate compost or well-rotted manure to improve fertility.
  • Digging the Hole: Prepare a hole twice the width of the root ball.

4. Planting

  • Plant Placement: Position the plant with the root collar level with the soil.
  • Support: Not required for this compact shrub.

5. Watering and Fertilising

  • Watering: Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency once established.
  • Fertilising: Use a slow-release fertiliser in spring to promote healthy growth.

6. Mulching and Maintenance

  • Mulching: Apply mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
  • Pruning: Lightly prune after flowering to maintain shape.

7. Pest and Disease Control

  • Pests: Generally pest-free but monitor for aphids on young shoots.
  • Diseases: Rarely affected but ensure good drainage to prevent fungal issues.

8. Winter Care

  • Hardiness: Frost-tolerant and requires minimal winter care.

9. Common Uses

  • Ideal for hedging, borders, or as a fragrant addition to shady garden areas.
