Care

Planting & Growing
Thrives in average, well-drained soils; avoid heavy, wet clay soils. Water deeply and regularly during first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Once established, reduce frequency; tolerates mild drought. Cut foliage back just before new shoots appear in late winter to early spring.
