ADVICES

This shrub prefers a sunny spot, and grows best on sandy loam soil that is light and free draining, with a slightly acid to neutral pH.

This plant does not require a lot of care, but regular pruning of shoots (about 1/3 of the length) after flowering is recommended. Remove the old, diseased, dry and crossing shoots (once every few years in early spring) this will give a compact and nicely dense plant shape. This shrub is extremely resistant to drought. In addition, it is resistant to frost and air pollution.
