Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Ensure it’s in a location that receives full sun to part shade, with moist to wet soil for optimal growth. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and just as deep. Gently place the shrub in the hole, ensuring it is level with the surrounding soil, and fill it back in, firming the soil. Water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets. Spread a layer of mulch around the shrub to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
2. Watering Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. After that, water when the top inch of soil feels dry.
3. Pruning Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged branches and encourage a bushier shape.
4. Fertilizing: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth and vibrant blooms throughout the season.
