• Planting Tips:

  • Choose a well-draining location with full sun to partial shade for planting Serendipity.
  • Dig a hole twice the diameter of the plant's root ball and place it at the same depth as it was in the container.
  • Space multiple plants approximately 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation.

• Watering:

  • Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the plant's active growing season in spring and early summer.
  • Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases, and instead, water at the base of the plant to deliver moisture directly to the roots.

  • Use our MOISTURE MAXX non-ionic wetting agent all year or during times of drought for extended help keeping your plants well hydrated for up to 40 days.

• Mulching:

  • Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as shredded bark or compost, around the base of the plant to help retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
  • Maintain a mulch layer of 2-3 inches, ensuring it doesn't come into direct contact with the plant's stems to prevent rotting.

• Pruning:

  • Remove spent flower heads promptly to encourage prolonged blooming and prevent self-seeding.
  • Trim back any yellowing or withered foliage as needed to maintain the plant's aesthetic appeal and vigor.

• Fertilizing Guidelines:

• Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer like SR-18-5 slow release fertilizer in spring as new growth emerges to provide essential nutrients for robust flowering and foliage development.
•  Avoid excessive fertilization, as it can lead to lush foliage at the expense of blooms.
