To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in cool, moist, well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH, selecting a location in partial to full shade. These shrubs perform best when protected from harsh afternoon sun and drying winds, which can scorch the evergreen foliage. Consistent moisture is critical, especially during the first growing season until the root system is well established.
Prune immediately after flowering is complete if you need to manage size or remove older, woody stems, which encourages the development of fresh, vibrant foliage. Apply a generous layer of organic mulch around the root zone to keep the roots cool and conserve moisture, ensuring the material remains a few inches away from the crown to prevent stem rot.
