Planting instructions

Planting: Prefers well-drained soil. Dig a hole 60cm square and deep. Mix two thirds of the topsoil with one third compost in the bottom of the hole, add one cup of bone meal or superphosphate and mix well.
Watering and feeding: Does not need a lot of attention once established. It is drought tolerant in the winter rainfall regions, but needs to be watered during winter in summer rainfall areas. Keep plants mulched to help preserve moisture. Feed with a general fertiliser for flowering plants in spring and midsummer, then water in well.
Pruning: Cut back lightly after flowering, but avoid cutting into the hard wood.
