📋 Planting Directions
Planting Instructions
- Location: Choose a sunny spot with at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight per day.
- Soil: Well-draining soil is essential. Amend heavy clay or sandy soil with compost to improve drainage and nutrients.
- When to Plant: Spring or early fall when the weather is cooler.
Steps:
- Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball.
- Loosen the roots of the plant gently if they're compacted.
- Place the bush in the hole, ensuring the crown (where the stems meet the roots) is level with the ground.
- Backfill with soil, tamping lightly to remove air pockets.
- Water thoroughly to help settle the soil.
Watering and Care
- Watering: Water deeply 1–2 times a week during the first growing season. Let the soil dry slightly between waterings.
- Fertilizer: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring. Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can reduce blooms.
- Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to encourage new growth. Remove spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming.
Container Planting
- Choose a pot with drainage holes and at least 18–24 inches in diameter.
- Use a well-draining potting mix and water frequently, as pots dry out faster.
