Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location that receives full sun to part shade. Water thoroughly before planting, then dig a hole twice the width of the pot. Position the plant 1-2 inches above ground soil level and backfill the hole with soil. Water deeply to ensure it settles well, adding more soil if necessary. Finish with a 1-2 inch layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it clear of the stem.
2. Watering: This shrub prefers medium water needs, so ensure the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Check the moisture level, especially during hot weather, and water deeply when needed.
3. Pruning: To maintain a desirable shape and encourage healthy growth, prune as needed. Late winter is the best time to shape your Red Sky™ Holly Shrub before new growth begins.
4. Fertilizing: Fertilize yearly in the spring to boost growth and overall health. Use a balanced fertilizer to support robust growth throughout the season.
