Planting & Care

Plant or repot your Ever Sapphire™ within four weeks of arrival in a sunny location with well-draining soil. Water consistently during the first growing season to help roots develop; once established, the plant needs water only occasionally, especially during summer heat. Remove spent flower stems promptly to trigger additional blooms, and clear away dead foliage in late fall to keep the plant healthy and attractive. Apply balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring following package directions to support vigorous growth.
