Planting & Care

Plant your Real Charmer within four weeks of arrival in a sunny location with well-drained soil amended with organic matter. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball, position the plant so its crown sits at soil level, and backfill gently. Water regularly during dry periods, keeping soil consistently moist but never waterlogged, and adjust frequency based on rainfall and local climate. Deadhead spent blooms throughout the growing season to encourage continuous flowering, then cut the plant back to 4–6 inches in late fall. Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support vigorous growth and flowering without promoting excess foliage.
