It requires a sheltered spot in full sun on any well drained garden soil other than shallow chalk. Avoid planting in shady and wet cold areas, prefering instead a sheltered south facing spot. Trim lanky growth to shape in spring.

Plant Strengths: Sun loving draught tolerant plant; Provides valuable winter interest; Evergreen foliage for all year round colour and screening; Architectural plant – ideal as a ‘stand out’ plant.

Plant Weaknesses: Will not tolerate exposed, cold or hot and sunny locations.
