Planting & Care

Select a location receiving full sun to partial shade with well-draining soil and no standing water. Dig a planting hole sized to your root system, position your shrub at the same depth it was growing, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly to settle roots. Water weekly during the first growing season, checking soil moisture 2–3 inches deep before watering. Once established, this shrub demands minimal attention. Pruning is optional; allow natural growth or prune after summer flowering for a more formal shape.
