Expert Growing Guide - Guaranteed Success

Planting: Choose a location with morning sun and afternoon shade or filtered light throughout the day. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and amend with compost or peat moss for rich, well-drained soil. Plant at the same depth as the container, backfill, and water deeply.

Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish deep roots. Once established, water during dry spells, especially in summer heat. Mulch with 2-3 inches of organic material to retain moisture.

Fertilizing: Apply slow-release balanced fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. We recommend our 18-5-10 slow-release formula (available in our store) for optimal bloom production and plant health.

Pruning: Minimal pruning required! Remove spent blooms to encourage reblooming. Prune only to remove dead or damaged stems in early spring. Avoid hard pruning in late fall or you may remove flower buds.

Winter Care: Mulch around the base in late fall for extra winter protection in zones 5-6. Stems may die back in harsh winters, but new growth emerges from the base in spring with full flowering.
