Spring Promise will grow in most soil types but dislikes water logging.
Well drained soil is recommended. Heavier soils should be prepared with plenty of organic matter prior to planting to improve drainage.
Space plants 1m -1.2m apart for screening purposes.
Dig the planting hole twice the width and depth of the pot that is being planted. Backfill with topsoil that has been improved with organic matter. Make sure that the rootball sits no lower than the surrounding soil.
Although quite tolerant of dry conditions once established regular watering is beneficial for 2-3 months after transplanting to encourage a strong root system. Soil should be kept moist but not wet.
Mulching is important to protect surface roots from extremes of temperature and helps to retain soil moisture. Mulch should be applied over the soil to 10cm deep. Keep mulch 5cm-10cm away from the base of the plant so as not to impede airflow which may lead to an increase in pest and disease problems.
Hard pruning is recommended after flowering to stop plants becoming straggly.
Feed in spring and summer using a high quality complete fertiliser
