Landscaping Uses

This dwarf variety thrives in containers on patios, decks, and porches, making it perfect for small spaces and urban gardening.

Planting & Care

Select a location receiving at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily; while the plant tolerates partial shade, full sun yields the best results. Plant in well-draining soil, whether in ground or in a container twice the width of your shipping pot. Dig a hole matching your plant's root depth and twice its width, then backfill firmly to eliminate air pockets. Water regularly but allow soil to dry slightly between waterings, and move potted plants indoors in cold climates when temperatures drop below freezing. Supplement indoor growing with a grow light if natural sunlight is limited.
