Cultural Notes: This plant requires little maintenance as its mounding ground cover habit naturally forms a good shape, thus requiring little or no pruning. It is best to initially feed with a slow release low phosphorus fertiliser to help establish the plant. It is beneficial to follow up with the occasional reapplication of fertiliser and apply as required. Mulching around the base of the plant will help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
