Planting young plants
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Plant out in organically rich, medium moist, well-drained soils in full sun to partial shade. To get the best from foliage colour, plant in full sun. However, plants will also grow in full shade. In cooler regions, container plants should be overwintered indoors in a bright sun room and can be forced into dormancy by cutting back the foliage and storing in a dark, cool but frost-free area for the winter.
