To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in fertile, well-draining soil, selecting a location in partial to full shade. This species is an excellent, deer-resistant choice for shadier areas of the landscape where other evergreens might struggle. While it is adaptable to various soil conditions, provide consistent water during the first growing season to ensure the root system is well established. Prune as needed in late winter or early spring to shape or maintain size, though its naturally slow-growing, elegant habit often requires minimal intervention.
