Planting & Care

Select a location receiving 6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily with well-drained soil. Dig a planting hole roughly twice the diameter of the root ball, position the shrub, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets. During its first year, water 2 to 3 times weekly to establish a strong root system. Once established, maintain consistent soil moisture for best blooming, though the plant tolerates dry periods. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to encourage vigorous growth and abundant flowering throughout the season.
