How to care for Alcalthaea suffrutescens Parkrondell:
When planting 'Parkrondell' add some well-rotted compost and mycorrhizal fungi into the planting hole. Water well during dry spells. In autumn, trim the stems back to within 50-60cm from the ground, and as new growth breaks in spring, cut it back harder if desired. Cutting it back a little later in the year will help keep it more compact. Protect against excessively wet weather in winter.
Please note:
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
