This shrub can be pruned once a year. Remove any crossing, dead, or protruding branches to improve air circulation and light penetration.

Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer are excellent choices. Fertilise twice a year, in spring and summer, to support the plant's vitality. The amount of fertiliser depends on the plant's size, so adjust accordingly. Nutrients are absorbed when dissolved in water, so ensure the soil is moist. During dry spells, water the garden to help release nutrients into the soil for the roots to absorb.
