Ideal for brightening a shrub border or woodland edge, it copes well in full sun and partial shade and tolerates extremely poor soils.

Plant in a sunny or partially shaded spot with well-drained soil, giving it space to spread. Water well after planting to help it establish, and apply a layer of mulch to retain moisture.
Prune in late spring after flowering, removing one in three stems to ground level. Cut back the remaining flowered stems to varying lengths to encourage shoots at different heights, and remove any suckering stems. Apply a 5–7cm (2–3?in) layer of mulch around the base each year to conserve moisture and support healthy growth.
