Plant in full sun or part shade in well-drained soil. Use the small clumps to edge a path, soften a rockery or add fine texture to a container planting. Allow space for a clump around 300mm wide.

Water after planting and check the root zone regularly while the plant establishes. Once established it tolerates dry conditions; give a deeper watering during extended dry spells rather than frequent light splashes.

In pots, use a freely draining potting mix and a container with drainage holes. Check moisture more often than you would in the garden, especially during hot or windy weather. Keep mulch away from the crown.

Remove damaged leaves and prune occasionally if the clump needs reshaping. If applying fertiliser, follow the product label for the actual plant and pot size, taking any feed already in the potting mix into account.
