Planting & Care

Choose a location with full sun and prepare the soil with generous organic matter like compost to ensure healthy growth. Dig a planting hole twice the width of the root ball and equally deep, loosening the soil at the bottom before setting the plant in place. Gently separate the roots with your hands, backfill with amended soil, and water thoroughly. Space plants 3 feet apart for optimal coverage. This hardy shrub blooms abundantly from the moment of planting and needs minimal maintenance—just ensure good drainage and occasional watering during dry spells.
