Care guide for Perth gardens
Position: Full sun to partial shade; afternoon shade can help reduce heat stress.
Soil: Well-drained soil enriched with organic matter.
Watering: Water regularly while establishing. During Perth summers, monitor soil moisture and avoid letting the root zone dry out completely.
Pruning: Trim lightly to maintain the desired shape, avoiding severe pruning during extreme heat.
Mulching: Apply organic mulch around the root zone, keeping it away from the stems.
Maintenance: Check periodically for yellowing foliage, pests and fungal problems.
Note: Mature size varies with growing conditions and pruning. Australian nursery references give a compact size around 40–60 cm for some plants, while other references describe plants reaching 1–1.5 m.
