Position: Requires a rich well drained soil with plenty of moisture during the growing season. Plant in full sun or partial shade where they can be treated as summer bedding or as a hardy shrub, in which case plant early in the season protect for the first winter with a thick mulch on surface but not directly around the stem. 

Pruning: Prune hard back in spring (after the frosts have passed) to promote new growth.

    Good quality plants, well packaged for delivery. I have purchased from them before. There was a day's delay in the most recent delivery. It would be good to have messages giving despatch and delivery information.
