Troubleshooting
Yellowing leaves
This could indicate poor drainage or a lack of essential nutrients. Ensure the soil is well-drained and consider a spring feed with a balanced fertilizer.
Few or no flowers
Ensure the plant is receiving adequate sunlight. Poor flowering can also be due to pruning at the wrong time (removing next year's buds) or insufficient nutrients. Adjust feeding and consider light exposure.
Leaf spot or fungal issues
Ensure good air circulation by providing adequate spacing. Remove affected leaves and practice good garden hygiene. Avoid overhead watering late in the day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
**Planting:
- Location: Choose a sunny or partially shaded position. Full sun is preferred for the most abundant flowering, but partial shade is tolerated.
- Soil: Requires well-drained soil. Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter to improve drainage. Avoid waterlogged conditions.
- Spacing: Plant with ample space to accommodate its mature size, approximately 5m high and 2.5m wide. Ensure adequate room for air circulation.
- Immediate Planting: Supplied in a 19cm pot, this established plant is ready for immediate planting. Water thoroughly before and after planting.
Care:
- Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season, especially in dry periods, to help establish the root system. Once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant but benefits from watering during prolonged dry spells.
- Pruning: Minimal pruning is generally required. Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches in late winter or early spring. Prune immediately after flowering if shaping is necessary to avoid removing next year's flower buds.
- Feeding: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support growth and flowering. Mulching around the base in spring can help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
