Growing Guide

• Soil: Thrives in well-drained soil; avoid waterlogged spots to prevent root rot.
• Watering: Water regularly during dry spells but allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

Planting & Care Tips

• Pots or Ground: Suitable for large containers or direct planting into borders—great for patios or framing entrances.
• Feeding: Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring to support healthy growth.

Design Inspiration & Companions

• Create a tropical retreat by pairing with cordylines, agapanthus, or olive trees.
• Add gravel mulch around the base for a Mediterranean finish and improved drainage.
