Care

Planting & Growing
Provide organically rich, well-drained soil. Protect from intense heat and harsh sun exposures in very hot summer regions; keep roots cool with a thick layer of mulch. Water deeply, regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system; once established, reduce frequency. Feed with an acid fertilizer after bloom.
