Dig a planting hole twice as wide as the root ball and backfill with native soil, then water regularly until the plant establishes itself. Once growing, provide occasional water during extended dry periods. In early spring, cut back the entire plant to emerging buds to encourage robust new growth, and deadhead spent flowers in fall without removing woody stems. Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring and add a compost layer annually to maintain soil health.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"1 Quart","offer_id":45814251651258,"sku":"30519","price":140.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/3520\/4026\/files\/beyond-midnight-bluebeard-shrub.jpg?v=1777509664","url":"https:\/\/floridaplantnursery.com\/products\/beyond-midnight-bluebeard-shrub","provider":"Florida Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
