Planting & Care
1. Planting: This shrub prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. For optimal growth and flowering, ensure the plant receives a minimum of six hours of sunlight daily.
2. Watering: Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to slightly dry between waterings to prevent root rot and maintain plant health. In hot, dry conditions, increase watering frequency as needed.
3. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer every 4 to 6 weeks. Refrain from fertilizing during the dormant season when the plant may not be actively growing.
4. Pruning: Prune in late summer or early fall, whenever the plant has finished blooming. Trim away any dead or damaged branches, along with any suckers originating from the plant’s base.
