Planting & Care
1. Planting: Choose a location with well-draining soil and plenty of sunlight for optimal growth. Dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper than the ball itself. Place the shrub in the hole, ensuring that the top of the root ball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill with soil, gently firming it down to eliminate air pockets.
2. Watering: Water the plant deeply after planting to help establish strong roots. Continue to monitor soil moisture, watering when the top inch feels dry. Once established, it is relatively drought-tolerant but may need supplemental watering during prolonged dry spells. This shrub peforms best in consistently moist, well drained soil.
3. Pruning: Generally, pruning is unnecessary for this shrub as it naturally maintains a compact shape. However, if you prefer to shape it or remove any dead or damaged branches, do so in early spring before new growth begins to emerge.
4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth. Use according to package instructions, and avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive, rapid growth and may necessitate more frequent pruning.
