Basic Care : Full sun to part shade. Protect roots from freezing in winter. Keep soil moist at all times and water most often during hot weather.
Feeding : Fertilize just before and during growing season until autumn. Many brands of fertilizer are available and it is beneficial to use a variety of these. Follow all package instructions.
