Perfect for sheltered courtyard gardens, the wonderfully compact Tricolor Charm has crimson red stems that bear pink-tinted green and white variegated foliage. Plant as a low hedge or in pots and containers, from July, delicate white, trumpet- shaped flowers bloom until the first frosts. - Garden care: When planting Tricolor Charm, incorporate well-rotted compost or manure and a sprinkling of mycorrhizal fungi into the planting hole. Deadhead regularly to prolong flowering. In autumn, once the flowers have finished, lightly trim back the spent blooms to retain a neat and tidy shape. Remove any dead or damaged stems in April.
