Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a well-drained location that receives full sun to part shade. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and backfill with a mix of compost and soil. Space plants about 12 to 18 inches apart to allow for airflow and growth.

2. Watering: Water deeply after planting, ensuring the soil is moist but not soggy. Once established, water when the top 1-2" dries out.

3. Pruning: In early spring, remove any overwintered foliage to encourage fresh growth. Plants can be individually deadheaded to prolong blooming, or sheared back by about one-third after flowering, leaving the foliage intact for the remainder of the season. When planted in masses, foliage will spread to form an attractive groundcover.

4. Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring or work fresh compost into the planting bed. Avoid over-fertilizing, as excess nutrients can cause leggy growth and reduce flowering.
