Care

Planting & Growing
Provide enriched, neutral to slightly alkaline, loose, well-drained soil. Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish an extensive root system; once established, reduce frequency. Apply fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. Remove spent blooms to encourage heavier blooming.
