CARE: Mulch and water well, will tolerate drought and poor soils. Prune mature shrubs hard back each year after flowering, and feed with a controlled release fertiliser after flowering, to maintain a compact growth habit and promote prolific flowering next season.
HEIGHT & WIDTH: 1.5 - 2.5 m H x 1.5 - 2.5 m W.
