Planting Tips

• Plant 30–60cm away from walls or fences for better root moisture
• Keep roots cool with mulch or low-growing plants
• Provide support such as an arch, pergola, or trellis
• Cut stems back hard in early spring to strong buds
• Feed in spring with a balanced slow-release fertiliser

Grow it in a container near seating areas for close-up flower detail. The veining becomes more noticeable at short range.
