Planting & Care

Plant in a sunny location with well-draining soil, spacing appropriately for mature width. Dig a hole matching the root ball size, backfill gently to avoid air pockets, and water thoroughly. Once established, water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Apply liquid fertilizer weekly during the growing season to enhance flower production and color intensity. Prune in late winter after the coldest period passes, removing any dead, damaged, or diseased growth and shaping as desired.
