Care Notes

Plant in average to dry, well-drained soil. In PNW, site in the hottest, sunniest available spot; south or west-facing walls maximize heat accumulation needed for good flowering. Prune by thinning and light shaping in late winter only; never top or heavily pollard the main stems. Watch for powdery mildew; choose mildew-resistant selections where possible.
