Planting & Care

Select a location receiving at least six hours of direct sunlight daily with soil that drains well to prevent waterlogging. At planting time, water thoroughly and keep the soil consistently moist for the first several weeks while the root system develops strength. Once established, reduce watering frequency and allow the shrub to rely on natural rainfall in most climates. Apply balanced fertilizer during the growing season to support vigorous flowering. Remove any shoots sprouting from the base of older stems to maintain a single-trunked form and encourage fresh, productive growth.
