Flowering Season
From Early Summer TO Early Summer
Creamy white lace cap flowers surround a purple crown in early summer followed by red berries.
Planting young plants
From Late Autumn TO Early Spring
Young plants should be planted in a sunny position between late Autumn and early Spring. Rich moist soil is best but light soils will reduce flowering potential.
Propagation by cuttings
From Early Summer TO Late Summer
Take 3-4 inch cuttings of lateral shoots with a heel in Summer, and insert in a mix of sand and peat. Move on to nursery beds and leave for two or three years before planting on.
