Nothing else gives this much colour for this little water. Train it along a boundary wall or keep it clipped as a flowering standard in a pot.

Keeping it looking good

Watering

Water sparingly. Slight drought stress is what triggers heavy flowering.

Light

Full, unfiltered sun. Shade means leaves and no colour.

Soil & potting

Poor, gritty soil is fine. Avoid rich composts.

Feeding & pruning

Prune hard after each flush. Feed a low-nitrogen bloom fertiliser.
