Flowers: May - August
- Moist, well-drained soil
- South, West or East aspect
- Full sun
- Pop the discarded coir pot in the green bin, leave out for birds to use for nesting, use as mulch or add to compost heap
- Do not over water
- Requires frequent pruning to form a dense mat. Trim back the fine stems in early spring to allow for new growth during the growing season. You can also cut back dead flowers at the end of summer. After that, wait until late autumn to prune the woody stems of your plant.
- Coir pots are supplied by one specific village producer in Sri Lanka. They have built a school, old people's home and extension to the local medical centre over the years from the proceeds of coir pot production
