Planting Instructions:

• - Best planted in early spring or fall for optimal root establishment

• - Once established, water during dry periods but avoid waterlogged conditions

Fertilizer Type:

• - Avoid over-fertilizing, as it may result in excessive foliage at the expense of flowers

• - Remove weak or crossing branches to maintain a strong framework

Additional Pest Management:
