The thirstiest plant on this list: daily deep water in summer, plus heavy mulch. A greywater-fed corner is the traditional trick.

Full sun with wind shelter; shredded leaves are cosmetic, a snapped stem is not.

Rich, deep, heavily composted; feed monthly.

Cut the whole bunch when fruit is plump but green; ripen in shade. Each stem fruits once — cut it down and a pup replaces it.
