✂️ Care
Very hardy and low-maintenance. Cut back stems to ground level in early spring before new growth to maintain a compact silhouette and promote vigorous foliage with bright white stripes.
Apply a light mulch at the base to improve drainage and gradually enrich the soil. Light fertilization in spring supports vigorous growth, especially in poor soils.
