Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in acidic (pH 4.5-6.0), well-draining soil rich in organic matter. If the soil is heavy clay, incorporate peat moss or aged pine bark. Plant shallow - the top of the root ball should sit 1 to 2 inches above the surrounding soil level; never bury the crown Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Apply 2 to 3 inches of pine needles or bark, keeping it away from the main stem. Always ensure deep watering in late autumn before the first hard freeze to prevent winter desiccation.
