A space where it can thrive
Grow as a cultivated garden crop in a bed or suitably sized container. The illustrated nursery pot is a presentation, not a recommendation for the mature plant’s root space.

Your care routine
Watering
Let the surface begin to dry between waterings. Keep the root ball drained; winter wet is especially troublesome.
Soil & drainage
A well-drained bed or roomy container; avoid compacted, waterlogged soil.
Fertilizer
A container-grown plant can receive a suitable fertilizer about monthly during active growth, following the label. Avoid feeding a cold dormant plant.
Temperature
Plan sowing for the crop’s preferred season. Protect young plants and containers from severe frost; local conditions affect timing.
Planting
Start seeds indoors with warmth and bright light. Set established plants in a sunny, sheltered position.
Harvest
Snip young shoots without removing all the foliage. Dry cut sprigs in an airy, shaded place.
Through the seasons
Protect container roots from hard freezing. Prune lightly into leafy growth rather than cutting back into bare old wood.
When your plant needs help
- Give the woody shrub excellent winter drainage and protect a container from hard freezing.
