Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball, backfill with native soil mixed with compost, and add 2–3 inches of mulch around the base to conserve moisture. Water consistently during the first 2–3 months to establish a strong root system, then reduce watering as the plant becomes drought-tolerant. In early spring before new growth emerges, prune back to 6–12 inches above ground to encourage vigorous blooming; deadhead spent flowers throughout the season to extend the display. Apply balanced, slow-release fertilizer at planting and again in early spring.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":45814261514426,"sku":"30253","price":113.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/3520\/4026\/files\/blue-mist-bluebeard_eb347cc3-1a3b-4842-89fd-b4bf0f9237fa.jpg?v=1777509744","url":"https:\/\/floridaplantnursery.com\/products\/blue-mist-bluebeard","provider":"Florida Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
