How to grow Convolvulus cneorum successfully in NZ

Convolvulus cneorum grows best in full sun with well drained soil and low humidity. Choose a sunny, open site, preferably sheltered from strong winds. It performs well in coastal and dry areas, making it ideal for New Zealand's warmer and drier regions. Avoid overwatering and heavy or poorly drained soils. Once established, it is drought tolerant and low maintenance. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain its compact shape and encourages fresh growth and blooms.

Convolvulus cneorum care tips

Plant Convolvulus cneorum in full sun with well-drained soil to promote healthy growth and flowering. Water regularly during establishment, then reduce the frequency as the plant becomes drought-tolerant. Avoid overwatering or planting in soil that is too wet, as this can lead to root rot. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage new blooms. Fertilise in spring with a general garden fertiliser. Protect from heavy frosts in colder regions, especially while young.
