As it is frost prone it will need some protection prior to winter and may need restrictive pruning if under glass. However, trim or lightly cut back shoots that spoil the shape and cut back growth that have produced insignificant flowers. Cut annually from mid to late spring - or as and when necessary. Please note, may cause discomfort if ingested and foliage may irritate the skin
