Care

Planting & Growing

Provide enriched, well-drained soil; avoid poorly drained sites. Water deeply, regularly during the first growing season to develop an extensive root system. Once established, prefers evenly moist soil, but tolerates brief dry spells. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring.
