Planting & Care

Select a location with full sun to partial sun and ensure the soil drains well to prevent standing water. Dig a planting hole sized to your root ball, position your shrub, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly to settle roots. Water consistently once per week during the first growing season, adjusting frequency during hot spells by checking soil moisture 2–3 inches deep. Pruning is optional; allow natural growth or prune lightly after the second flush of flowers in late summer if you prefer a more formal shape. Apply slow-release fertilizer in spring for sustained vigor and abundant flowering.
