Care Tips

Planting Instructions: Plant in well-drained, slightly acidic soil in a location with full sun to partial shade. Space plants about 8-10 feet apart.
Soil Moisture: Keep soil evenly moist, especially during flowering and establishment.
Soil Type: Prefers rich, organic, well-drained soil.
Humidity: Tolerant of average to high humidity levels.
Pruning Instructions: Prune after flowering to maintain shape and health.
Winter Care: Mulch heavily to protect roots in colder zones; apply balanced fertilizer in early spring.
Planting Depth: Plant at the same depth as in the nursery container.
Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring.
Special Care: Avoid excessive nitrogen which promotes too much leafy growth at the expense of blooms.
