For screening or hedging, plant 1 metre apart for dense coverage. As a standalone standard or in containers, provide ample space to showcase its symmetrical canopy.
Fertiliser Requirements:
Feed with a slow-release, all-purpose fertiliser in spring to encourage healthy foliage and promote flowering. Mulch around the base to improve soil quality and retain moisture.

Low-maintenance and psyllid-resistant, Backyard Bliss is easy to care for. Prune regularly to maintain its shape and size, whether as a topiary or hedge. Apply mulch to suppress weeds and conserve soil moisture, ensuring its striking foliage remains vibrant year-round.
