To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in fertile, well-draining soil in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. Because these cultivars are grafted, monitor the base regularly and remove any straight-growing shoots originating from the rootstock to maintain the plant's unique, twisted form. Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged branches, avoiding heavy shearing to preserve the distinctive architecture. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture, keeping the area near the crown clear to prevent stem rot.
