Planting & Care

Plant in spring or autumn in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil enriched with organic matter. Choose a sheltered position with partial or full sun - some afternoon shade is beneficial to protect the delicate variegated foliage from scorching. Water regularly during the first growing season and during dry spells. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and keep roots cool. Feed with a balanced fertiliser in spring. Minimal pruning required - remove any dead or damaged branches in late summer to avoid bleeding sap. Remove any plain green shoots to maintain variegation.
