Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Ensure a hole that is twice the width of the root ball, and place the shrub at the same depth it was previously growing. Fill in with soil and water thoroughly.

2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system. Once established, this plant is quite drought-tolerant, but provide supplemental watering during prolonged dry spells.

3. Pruning: Prune in early spring to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Remove any dead or crossing branches to improve air circulation within the plant.

4. Fertilizing: Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring to promote healthy growth. Avoid over-fertilizing, as the shrub can thrive in less nutrient-rich soils.
