Reminders for this plant

Due over 11 years ago:

Prune

Cut branches back to within 3-4cm of stem after pink flush fades to maintain plant shape.

Prune

Shear in midsummer to encourage a bushy habit, a second flush of pink growth and red stems in winter. Mature plant size is dependent upon frequency of pruning..
