Key Characteristics:

• Size: Reaches a height and spread of about 1.2 to 1.5 metres (4-5 feet), making it a versatile option for various garden settings.

• Growth Habit: Compact and rounded, forming a neat and bushy shape that is easy to maintain and provides structure in the landscape.

Growing Conditions:

• Soil: Prefers acidic, well-drained soils enriched with organic matter. Use ericaceous compost for container growing. Soil should be kept moist but not waterlogged.
• Light: Thrives best in partial shade, though it can tolerate some sunlight in the morning or late afternoon. Protection from strong midday sun is important to avoid leaf damage.
• Watering: Requires consistent watering, particularly during dry spells, to keep the soil evenly moist. Avoid allowing the roots to dry out.

Ideal Uses:

• Borders & Shrub Beds: Ideal for planting in mixed borders where its soft yellow blooms can contrast with darker foliage or more vibrant flowers.
• Woodland Gardens: A great choice for shady or dappled light areas in woodland gardens, where its delicate color can brighten up darker corners.
• Containers: Perfect for growing in large containers, making it a great choice for patios or terraces where acidic soil can be controlled.
