Planting & Care

Plant in early spring or summer before peak heat arrives in a location receiving 4–6 hours of daily sunlight. Water regularly to maintain evenly moist soil without waterlogging. Apply mulch around the base during the first winter to protect roots and retain moisture. Feed with slow-release fertilizer in early spring and mid-summer, or use water-soluble fertilizer every two weeks during the growing season. In spring, remove any dead stems before new growth emerges. Note that this plant leafs out late in spring—patience is key!
