Water moderately during establishment, then sparingly. Allow soil to dry out between waterings, especially in summer. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure excellent drainage.

Reduce watering significantly in winter, providing just enough to prevent complete desiccation.

Prune lightly after flowering to shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove spent flower heads to maintain appearance. For hedging or specific forms, more regular, light trimming can be done.

Avoid heavy pruning into old wood, as it may not regrow. Ensure tools are clean.

Best propagated from semi-hardwood cuttings taken in late summer or autumn. Dip cuttings in rooting hormone and plant in a well-draining, sterile propagation mix. Maintain high humidity and warmth.

Germination from seed is possible but can be slow and erratic, requiring stratification.

Repot young plants when they become root-bound, typically every 1-2 years. Use a very well-draining, gritty potting mix, ideally low in nutrients. Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.

Water lightly after repotting and keep in a sheltered spot for a few weeks.
