USE FOR : Underplanting below trees, groundcover in part shade, in baskets and containers, to attract butterflies and other pollinators. Firebreak
PLANTING : Plant in any soil in a full sun to part shaded location. The sunnier the position the more water it will need. Mulch after planting to retain moisture and regulate soil temperatures as the young plant establishes. Frost tolerant
CARE : An application of a native slow release fertiliser in spring will help keep the plant healthy.
HEIGHT & WIDTH: 30-60 cm H x 30-90 cm W.
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
