In "exotic" shrubberies in coastal climates; in container plantings elsewhere.
Planting
Remove the plant from its container and thoroughly soak the root ball. Place the plant (not too deeply) in a hole with a mixture of loose soil, topsoil and sandtype material around the root-ball, gently tamping the earth. Water in.
Maintenance
