Keep it well watered (a good soaking once a week) for the rest of this summer and autumn so that it grows a good root system. If in a pot/container then it might need watering twice a week in hot weather. In late autumn or early spring, prune it to keep a good shape and completely cut out any shoots which are not variagated or those will take over.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
Hi, I have just bought one of these and it is in a pot. To start with the shoots grew and were a nice pink colour. Now they have gone a pale cream colour and the tips of the leaves are going brown. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

in the winter would you cover the plant with a fleece to protect from the frost ?
