Planting & Care

Choose a location with well-draining soil and good air circulation, receiving at least partial sun. Dig a hole two to three times wider than the root ball, position your shrub, and backfill with amended soil. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture during the first growing season. Once established, this shrub is drought-tolerant and largely self-cleaning, meaning spent flowers drop naturally. Prune lightly in early spring to maintain shape and encourage dense branching.
