Suggested planting locations and garden types
  • City and courtyard gardens
  • Coastal
  • Cottage and informal garden
  • Gravel garden
  • Patio and container plants
  • Garden edging
  • Flower borders and beds
Pruning

Cut back to ground level in autumn as foliage fades

Pests

Slugs, snails and aphids are the main pest problems

Diseases

Powdery mildew can be a problem especially on rich, damp soils
