How to grow

Cultivation

Grow in a fertile, neutral soil in full sun or light shade, and ensure good drainage, especially in heavy soils. The woody rootstock tends to lift out of the ground over time, so mulch annually to retain moisture. Divide and replant every 3-4 years to maintain vigour

Propagation

Propagate by division in autumn. As this plant is protected by Plant Breeders' Rights, any propagation should be for personal rather than commercial use

  • Garden edging
