General Care Guidelines:

1. Planting Tips:

   • Select a well-draining soil enriched with organic matter.
   • Choose a location that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight daily.
   • Plant during the spring or fall for optimal establishment.

2. Watering:

   • Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season.
   • Water at the base to avoid wetting the foliage, reducing the risk of diseases.
   • Adjust watering frequency based on weather conditions; increase during hot spells.

3. Mulching:

   • Apply a 2-3 inch layer of organic mulch around the base to retain moisture.
   • Mulching also helps control weeds and regulates soil temperature.

4. Pruning:

   • Regular deadheading encourages continuous blooming.
   • Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the plant and remove dead or damaged wood.
   • Maintain a rounded form for a neat and compact appearance.

5. Fertilizing:

   • Feed with a balanced, SR-18-5-10 slow-release fertilizer in spring.
   • Avoid excessive fertilization, as it can lead to leggy growth with fewer blooms.
   • Mulching with well-rotted compost also provides a natural nutrient boost.
