Growing and Care Tips
Water deeply at planting and monitor the root zone during the first growing season. Spread organic mulch to help moderate soil moisture, keeping it clear of the stems. Once established, adjust watering to local rainfall, temperature, and drainage rather than relying on a fixed calendar.
Its strongest ornamental interest occurs in midsummer into autumn. Remove damaged growth with clean tools and prune selectively to preserve the natural shape. For flowering shrubs, time pruning around the bloom cycle so developing buds are not accidentally removed. Avoid unnecessary heavy feeding.
