Smart Growing Guide

Beginner

1. Choose a spot with sun and some afternoon protection, especially in hotter climates.
2. Dig a hole wider than the root ball and plant at the same depth it was growing in its container.
3. Backfill with well-drained soil enriched with organic matter, then water thoroughly.
4. Water consistently during the first growing season and add mulch around, not against, the stem.
5. After flowering, lightly prune only as needed to maintain shape.

Advanced

• Prioritize acidic, organic-rich, well-drained soil and avoid sites that stay waterlogged.
• Use consistent moisture during establishment to support strong root development and reliable reblooming.
• Feed in early spring with a fertilizer suited to acid-loving plants, following the product label.
• Prune after the main bloom cycle rather than during active bud development to protect flowering potential.

Pro Tips for Maximum Impact

• Plant near entertaining areas or frequently used paths where the fragrance can be appreciated.
• Pair with plants that contrast with the dark glossy foliage and complement the white flowers.
• Use a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature, keeping it away from the stem.
• Protect from harsh afternoon conditions in hotter locations while maintaining good air circulation.
