Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a location that receives full sun to partial shade for optimal growth. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball, ensuring good drainage. Mix in compost to enrich the soil and place the plant at the same depth it was in its pot. Space multiple plants about 3 feet apart to allow for their vigorous growth.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells, but avoid waterlogging. A layer of mulch around the base can help retain moisture while keeping the roots cool.
3. Pruning: To encourage healthy growth and flowering, prune lightly in late winter or early spring. Remove dead or weak stems, as well as any spent flowers, to promote new blooms.
4. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced fertilizer in early spring as the new growth emerges. A second application in mid-summer can help enhance blooming and overall vigor.
