Care Guide
Type: Evergreen Flowering Shrub (Standard Ball Form)
Sunlight: Thrives in Full Sun. Plant in a position that receives at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily for the best flowering. Insufficient sunlight will reduce blooming.
Water: Water deeply during establishment. Once established, allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings, as overwatering encourages leafy growth rather than flowers.
Soil: Prefers fertile, well-drained soil. Avoid planting in heavy or poorly drained soils where water can accumulate around the roots.
Frost: Light Frost Sensitive. Protect from heavy frost, especially while young or when grown in containers.
Maintenance: Prune lightly after each flowering flush to maintain the rounded ball shape and encourage repeat flowering. Feed with a high-potassium fertiliser during spring and summer for the best floral display.
