Prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. Once established, it’s moderately drought-tolerant.

Mulching around the base of the plant is recommended to help retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.

Fertilize in early spring with a slow-release fertilizer to support vigorous growth and abundant flowering. Our [slow release fertilizer](care section) is a great option.
