Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Before planting, ensure the soil is well-drained. Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter.
  2. Planting: Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball of the plant. Gently remove the plant from its pot and place it in the hole. Backfill with soil, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the ground. Water thoroughly after planting.
  3. Spacing: Plant approximately 50-60cm apart to allow for growth and ensure good air circulation.
  4. Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry periods. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot.

  6. Pruning: Trim and shape annually to maintain the desired size and shape. Remove any dead or damaged branches.
  7. Compatibility: These plants are compatible with most garden environments. However, ensure they are not overcrowded by taller plants.
  8. Care: Mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
