Care

Planting & Growing

Provide organically rich, well-drained, acidic soil. Keep roots cool with a thick layer of mulch. Water deeply, regularly during first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency once established. Thin buds to increase flower size. Prune lightly to shape and apply acid fertilizer after bloom.
