Care
Choose a well-drained Sunny position. Add Yates Thrive Natural Blood & Bone and Yates Thrive Natural Garden Lime before planting. Fertilise regularly with Yates Thrive Soluble Plant Food. Keep well watered. Protect from snails and slugs.
Hint
Water regularly at base of plant to avoid fungal diseases. Plants may need staking for support.
