Planting and Care

Plant in a sunny position with well-draining soil. Water regularly during the first 12 weeks while the root system becomes established.

Avoid wet or waterlogged conditions. Once established, water during prolonged dry periods and lightly prune when necessary to control its spread or encourage denser growth.

When planting as a groundcover, allow sufficient space for each plant to spread. It can also be positioned near the edge of a raised bed or retaining wall, where the foliage can cascade naturally.
