Care Guide
Type: Evergreen to Semi-Evergreen Shrub
Sunlight: Full Sun to Semi-Shade. The brightest foliage colour develops when grown in full sun.
Water: Water regularly during establishment. Once established, water moderately, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.
Spacing: Plant 90–120cm apart to allow each shrub to develop a full, rounded shape with good air circulation.
Frost: Frost Hardy. Established plants tolerate frost well, although young growth may be lightly damaged by severe frosts before recovering with fresh spring growth.
Maintenance: Lightly prune after flowering to maintain a compact shape and encourage colourful new growth and repeat flowering.
