By choosing this beauty, you’ll not only enhance your garden’s aesthetic but also contribute to a healthier ecosystem. Planting Care 1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location with well-drained soil, ideally in full sun or partial shade. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and gently place the plant in. Backfill with soil and lightly tamp down to eliminate air pockets. 2. Watering: Water the plant thoroughly after planting. It prefers to stay moist, so water when the top 1 inch of soil is dry. In hotter months, you may need to increase the frequency. 3. Pruning: Prune back any dead or damaged foliage in early spring before new growth begins. This helps promote healthier blooms and maintain the plant's neat appearance. 4. Fertilizing: Fertilizer is not usually necessary. Work fresh compost into the soil or use an organic fertilizer like Espoma Plant Tone in early spring.
