Planting & Care

Select a location with well-draining soil and dig a planting hole twice as wide as the root ball. Position the shrub so the top of its root ball is level with the ground, backfill gently, and apply a 3-inch mulch layer to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, checking soil moisture about 2 inches below the surface. Feed with a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer monthly during spring for optimal growth. No pruning is necessary, though you may selectively remove branches if desired. Note that deer may browse this plant in areas with high deer populations.
