How to plant & care (Caragh Garden Notebook)
- Planting (in ground): Improve the soil with compost and plant in a sunny, open position with good air flow. Water in well.
- Planting (in a pot): Use a large, heavy container with drainage holes. Water regularly in warm weather—standards dry out faster in pots.
- Support: Stake the stem to prevent wind rock and protect the graft.
- Feeding: Feed in spring as growth starts, then again mid-season for repeat flowering.
- Pruning: In late winter/early spring, prune the crown to keep a balanced, rounded shape and encourage strong new flowering shoots.
- Deadheading: Remove spent blooms to keep flowers coming.
Styling tip
For a really striking look, underplant with soft whites and silvers (lavender, nepeta, artemisia) or go full romance with blush pinks and deep purples.
