Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location with well-draining soil and full sun to partial shade. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball, place the shrub in the center, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy, especially during the first growing season. Once established, reduce frequency, watering every week or two, depending on rainfall.
3. Pruning: Lightly prune in early spring to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. For rejuvenation, a more significant pruning can be performed in late winter to encourage new growth.
4. Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy growth and vibrant blooms. Follow package instructions for application rates.
