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 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.
2. Watering: After planting, water the shrub regularly to establish a strong root system. During its first growing season, ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once established, the Kodiak Jet Black can tolerate some drought, but regular watering will promote more vigorous growth and blooming.
3. Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to encourage a bushier growth habit and remove any dead or damaged branches. Light shaping can also be done after flowering to maintain its desired size and form.
4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth begins. This ensures your shrub has the nutrients needed for lush foliage and abundant flowers throughout the growing season.
