About this plant
This handsome, evergreen plant grows up to 1m (3ft) high, with a long season of interest. Mid-green linear leaves are carried in whorls round the upright stems. The quiet looking, pale lime-green flower heads are honey scented, with red-brown eyes, but no high drama. This plant matures to lovely ruddy-brown tints and the effect is of a soft, irregular dome shape.

Feed with slow release fertiliser
Apply a general purpose slow release fertiliser, spreading it around the root area of the plant as it is coming into growth. (Or apply a liquid feed at regular intervals throughout the growing season.)
This is a simple way to provide a nutrient boost as a single annual procedure.
Spring-Autumn · Outdoors
Water during dry periods
For plants in the ground, when there has been little or no rain for a period of 7-10 days and the soil is dry, give it a deep watering and repeat weekly until there is a downpour of rain. Check plants in pots more frequently, especially in hot weather.
