This is an extremely adaptable plant suitable for all soil types and all levels of acidity. It prefers moist but well-drained soil but can also handle well-drained soil. It will grow well in full sun or in partial shade, in exposed or sheltered locations with any aspect. This hedging also has good drought resistance. This low maintenance plant needs no regular pruning. An annual prune in late winter or early spring to keep your plant looking in a good and strong condition. Specifically, remove any shoots which have crossed over or congested the plant, as well as damaged and diseased branches. An annual mulch after pruning will supress any competing weeds, hold down moisture and add organic matter to the soil.
