Planting & Care

Select a location receiving at least four hours of direct sunlight daily and featuring well-drained soil. Dig a hole slightly wider than your plant's root ball, position the shrub, and backfill with soil before watering thoroughly to settle the roots. Water regularly during the first growing season—approximately once weekly, or more during extreme heat. Check soil moisture 2–3 inches below the surface; water only when this layer feels dry. This shrub is remarkably low-maintenance and will flourish with basic care in most climates.
