Care

Planting & Growing

Provide organically rich, slightly acidic, well-drained soil; plant with crown slightly below soil level. Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Remove spent blooms for a tidy appearance. Needs little fertilization; apply a side dressing of organic compost annually. Prune old foliage in fall.
