• Spacing: ~1 m between plants
• Watering: Moderate watering; reduce during dormancy in summer
• Feeding: Add blood & bone or compost when planting, plus general fertiliser in spring and autumn
• Winter Maintenance: Cut stems back to 10 cm above ground before leaf drop to prevent disease
• Dividing: Only during dormancy every few years if needed
• Potted Growth: Possible but challenging—requires winter chill and rich, well-draining soil
