Planting & Care

Choose a location receiving partial shade with well-draining soil. Dig a hole approximately three times wider than the root ball, position your plant, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly to settle roots. Water regularly during the first growing season, then check soil moisture 3 inches deep before watering—irrigate only when dry at this depth. After spring blooms fade, apply a balanced fertilizer if growth appears sluggish. Mulch around the base to maintain consistent moisture and regulate soil temperature.
