Choose full sun or part shade with well-drained soil. Allow room for a plant around 1.5m high and 1m wide. PMA gives a 1m planting-distance guide for this variety.
Water regularly during establishment, checking the root zone rather than following a fixed calendar. Once established, it has low water needs; an occasional deep watering during extended hot, dry weather is beneficial.
For pots, choose a container with drainage holes and a quality, freely draining potting mix. Check container moisture more often in warm or windy weather. In the garden, keep mulch clear of the stems.
Its naturally dense habit needs little pruning, but you can trim it to the shape and size you want. When feeding, follow the chosen fertiliser label and account for any fertiliser already included in the potting mix; do not add extra feed by guesswork.
