✂️ Care
Very hardy and low-maintenance. Cut back the stems to the ground in early spring before new growth emerges to maintain a compact shape and encourage vigorous foliage.
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.
