Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in a location with well-draining soil and full sun to partial shade. Water regularly, but avoid overwatering. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize annually with a balanced fertilizer. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and promote healthy growth.
