Planting & Care

Plant your shrub within four weeks of arrival in a location receiving full sun or partial shade with well-draining soil. Dig a planting hole twice the root ball's width, gently loosen the roots, and settle the plant into place. Water thoroughly and apply a three-inch mulch layer extending three feet outward to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. For the first two years, maintain consistent soil moisture to develop a strong root system. Once mature, water only during prolonged dry spells, and apply balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support vigorous blooms.
