Planting & Care

Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil and dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball. Set the plant so the soil line matches the top of the root ball, then backfill and water thoroughly. After establishment, water sparingly during dry periods and allow soil to dry between waterings. In early spring, remove any dead wood and prune lightly to encourage bushier growth. Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring to support vigorous flowering throughout the growing season.
