Care Instructions

Planting:
Select a sunny site with at least 6 hours of direct light. Enrich the planting hole with compost or well-rotted organic matter. Set the crown at soil level and firm gently.

Watering:
Water deeply 1–2 times weekly during establishment. Maintain even moisture during hot weather, avoiding soggy conditions.

Pruning:
Prune in late winter or early spring. Remove dead or weak stems, then shape to maintain an open center and encourage strong flowering growth.

Pest Control:
Inspect regularly for aphids, thrips, and sawfly larvae. Apply insecticidal soap or neem oil as needed and support beneficial insects to reduce pest pressure.

Soil Tips:
Use fertile, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Mulch annually to retain moisture, regulate temperature, and improve soil health.
