Planting & Care

Plant or repot your shrub within four weeks of arrival in a location receiving full sun to partial shade with well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball, position the plant so the soil line matches, and backfill with native soil mixed with compost. Apply a 3-inch mulch layer around the base, extending several feet out to conserve moisture. Water consistently during the first season to establish strong roots, checking soil moisture regularly. Since this variety blooms on old wood, avoid pruning in fall; instead, prune lightly after flowering if needed and apply spring fertilizer as new growth emerges.
