Soil:
Prefers a fertile, slightly acidic, well-drained soil.
Aspect:
Full sun to part shade.
Maintenance:
Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape or remove any damaged or diseased growth. Apply a general fertiliser in spring to promote healthy growth. Will benefit from a yearly application of mulch.
Water Requirements:
Moderately drought tolerant once established but will benefit from supplementary watering. Will not tolerate waterlogged soil.
Seasonal Interest:
Spring to summer flowering.
Landscape Uses
Ideal for both formal and informal hedging, this plant is excellent for lining driveways due to its responsiveness to clipping. Its fragrance makes it a delightful addition near outdoor entertaining areas. It also thrives when grown in containers, forming a beautifully clipped, rounded shrub.
