Planting & Care

Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and prepare the planting hole at least twice the width of the root ball. Amend native soil with organic matter to create slightly acidic, well-draining conditions, and plant at the same depth as the container soil line. Apply mulch around the base to keep roots cool. Water deeply and consistently during the first growing season to establish roots, then reduce watering frequency as the plant matures and becomes drought-tolerant. After blooming concludes, apply an acid-based fertilizer to support next season's flower production. Light, occasional pruning maintains the desired shape.
