Plant Care
Maintain the distinctive standard form through regular pruning of the crown to preserve its rounded shape. Water deeply and consistently during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Remove spent blooms to encourage a tidy appearance and potential rebloom.
Planting Instructions
Plant in spring or fall in a hole twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth as the container. Mix organic matter into the native soil to improve drainage and fertility. Water thoroughly after planting and continue regular watering until established. Space multiple plants 4-5 feet apart to allow for mature spread. In colder regions, provide winter protection for the first few seasons.
