Plant tips
Care instructions

1. Look at the label that comes with the plant or search for your plant on our website. Here you can see what light exposure the plant needs. This determines whether you should look for a sunny, semi-shady or shady spot for your plant.

2. Make sure the plant's root ball is moist before you plant it (e.g. immerse it in a bucket of water).

3. Dig a hole the same depth as the pot, but about 2-3 times as wide.

4. Mix the soil that came out of the hole with some mixed garden soil (you can buy this at a garden centre).

5. Scoop the soil at the bottom of the hole a few times to make it nice and airy.

6. Carefully remove the pot from the plant.

7. Loosen the root system. You do this by running your fingers between the roots to loosen them. This is very important and ensures that the plant takes root properly.

8. Place the plant in the centre of the hole with the top of the root ball just above the surface.

9. Fill the hole with the mixed garden soil and press the soil around the plant firmly with your hands.

10. Water the plant.

11. Apply a 5-7 cm layer of mulch (soil litter), but keep the branches or trunk clear.

Watering needs

This plant has an average water requirement. Once the plant is well established in the soil, it can tolerate drier periods.

Note!

Plants in pots always need regular watering. If the pot is in a warm or sunny spot, the plant requires extra water.
Over-watering or prolonged extremely wet soil can cause root rot and thus affect the health of the plant.

Pruning information

Pruning helps to keep the plant in shape, promote rejuvenation and stimulate growth. Regular pruning ensures richer blooms and a better-branched shrub. The best period to prune this plant is in spring. Prune the plant to 10 - 15 cm .

Fertilisation

Preferably add fertiliser for garden plants to the soil during planting. After that, add granulated fertiliser for shrubs once a year, in early spring.

Winter hardiness / frost resistance

This plant is not hardy. If it is in a pot, it is best to put it in a frost-free spot.

Note!

Is the plant in a pot? Then it is more susceptible to frost: put the plant in a sheltered spot and in case of frost you can protect it by covering it, for instance with old branches and/or leaves or with a protective cloth.
Other factors such as soil type, drainage, snow cover, exposure to wind, winter, precipitation (or lack thereof) and temperature fluctuations also affect a plant's winter hardiness.

For most shrubs, autumn is a good time to plant them. It gives your plant a chance to take root and start growing ‘in line with the seasons’. Early spring is a good alternative.

If you plant it in summer, be aware that the plant is not yet well rooted and therefore needs regular watering, especially during hot & dry periods.
