Yes, its compact size makes it perfectly suited for growing in patio pots and containers.

The pink flower plumes have a light, sweet honey scent.

Once established, it is quite drought-tolerant. Water regularly during its first year and during prolonged dry spells, but ensure the soil has good drainage to avoid waterlogging.

Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring. Remove any dead or weak stems and cut back to shape the plant.

Ensure the plant is receiving at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Pruning too late in the season can also reduce flowering.
