CARE: This plant requires little maintenance and will benefit from tip prune to keep it compact. It is best to initially feed with a slow release low phosphorus fertiliser to help first establish the plant, and it is beneficial to follow up with the occasional reapplication of fertiliser and apply as required. Mulching around the base of the plant will help retain moisture and suppress weeds.

USES: Bronze Cascade has a variety of uses from hedging to garden border or as a rockery planting. It can be pruned to a desired height to create low to medium hedges. It is a great choice for foliage contrast for dense screening for gardens or in tubs on the patio.
