DIMENSIONS | FLOWERING
ASPECT | SOIL TYPE
Aspect: Tanika will grow in full sun and in up to 50% shade. It is also suited to coastal conditions, although protection from fully exposed seaside aspects will benefit its overall appearance. In humid coastal climates it is important to space the plantings to provide good air circulation around the plants. Attention to free draining mulch and soil is also recommended. Tanika thrives in inland climates and will be evergreen in frost and temperature to –10ºC.
Soil type: Sandy loam to free draining clay loams.
PLANTING RATES | MAINTENANCE
Maintenance: Trim foliage to 200mm above the ground to remove old growth every 3 to 5 years or when the plant looks untidy. Fertilize with a slow release fertilizer once a year and after trimming to encourage fresh re-growth. Care should be taken when re-applying mulch and don’t over water.
