Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a spot that receives full sun to partial shade for optimal growth and fragrance. Consider adding mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
2. Watering: Water regularly during the first year to establish a strong root system. Once established, this shrub is moderately drought-tolerant but appreciates consistent moisture, especially during hot, dry periods.
3. Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and remove any dead or damaged stems. Light trimming after flowering can encourage fuller growth for the next season.
4. Fertilizing: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring to promote healthy growth and blooming. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can harm the plant and reduce flowering.
