Care Instructions
Planting:
Choose a sunny, well-draining location. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and plant at the same depth. Space 2–3 feet apart for best results.
Watering:
Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Once mature, it’s drought-tolerant but benefits from occasional deep watering.
Pruning:
Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage abundant flowering. Remove spent blooms to promote new growth.
Pest Control:
Generally pest-resistant. Check for aphids or spider mites and treat with horticultural oil or insecticidal soap if needed.
Soil Tips:
Prefers moderately fertile, well-draining soil. Avoid heavy, soggy soils to prevent root rot and support strong, healthy growth.
