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. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and place the plant in the center, covering the roots with soil. Water thoroughly after planting. 2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system. Once established, reduce watering, allowing the soil to dry between watering sessions. This plant is drought-tolerant once mature. 3. Pruning: To maintain shape and encourage bushy growth, trim back spent blossoms and any dead stems after the flowering period. A light trim in late winter will also help stimulate new growth for the upcoming season. 4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth begins to emerge. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive foliage at the expense of blooms.
