- May Position: Sun Height/ Spread: 50cm x 40cm Hardiness: Hardy Care: For best results grow in moist, fertile soil that drains well, or in pots in good quality compost, in full sun or semi shade. If planting out, prepare the soil in advance by digging over & removing any weeds. Incorporate some well-rotted manure to enrich the soil if necessary. Knock the plant from its container & look at the roots – if they are circling around the compost, it is best to tease them out. To do this, push your fingers into the root ball along the bottom edge & pull. Do this in a couple of places. This should encourage the roots to spread into the surrounding soil. Next use a trowel or spade to create a hole just deep & wide enough to set in the root ball
- the aim is to bury just the roots, leaving the bases of the stems (when in growth in summer) or the shoots (in spring) above ground. Firm back around the soil, using your hand for small clumps & your heel on larger areas. Water in well to settle the soil & prevent it drying out.
