Planting & Care

Plant or repot within four weeks of arrival in a sunny location with well-draining soil. Dig a hole matching your root ball size and position the plant so the soil level remains even with its top. Water thoroughly after planting, then allow the top inch of soil to dry between waterings. Once established, this variety requires minimal water. In early spring, prune about one-third of the plant's height to encourage fuller branching and remove any winter damage. A light application of balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring supports healthy growth without promoting excessive foliage at the expense of flowers.
