Planting & Care

1. Planting: Select a well-drained area with full sun for optimal growth. Space plants about 2 to 3 feet apart to allow for their neat, mounded shape. When planting, dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and backfill with native soil.

2. Watering: Water newly planted Beyond Midnight® shrubs regularly until they are established. Once settled, this plant is relatively drought-tolerant but will benefit from occasional watering during prolonged dry spells.

3. Pruning: Cut the whole plant back in early spring to where large, healthy buds are emerging. Limit fall pruning to removing spent flower blooms, but do not prune any woody stems.

4. Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to support vigorous growth. An annual top-dressing of compost can also enhance soil fertility and overall plant health.
