Landscaping Uses

Planting & Care

Plant in full sun to partial shade in well-draining, slightly acidic soil. Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and twice as wide, then backfill with original soil mixed with additional topsoil, tamping firmly to eliminate air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture during the first growing season, watering when the top 3 inches of soil become dry. Once established, water only during extended dry periods. Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer like 10-10-10 in early spring, following package directions. Space plants 2–3 feet apart for optimal groundcover coverage.
