Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location that receives full sun to partial shade, ensuring good drainage. Make holes large enough for root balls and space them about 10-12 inches apart for ideal growth.

2. Watering: Water regularly, especially during hot, dry spells. Keep the soil evenly moist but avoid waterlogging, as this can cause root rot. Allow the top inch of soil to dry out between watering sessions to maintain optimal moisture levels.

3. Pruning: Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage new growth and keep the plants tidy. In late fall or early winter, you can trim back any leggy growth to promote a fuller appearance in the next growing season.

4. Fertilizing: Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season. This will help support healthy growth and a stunning display of blooms.
