Streamline likes a position of full sun and remember to water moderately. Keep in mind when planting that Streamline is thought of as tender, so remember to ensure that temperatures are mild before moving outdoors. Ideally plant in loamy and clay soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 6.0 and 6.8 as Streamline likes to be in weakly acidic soil.

Transplanting Streamline

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Streamline is a tender plant.
