Care & maintenance

Thrives in well-drained, acidic to neutral soil. Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter to improve drainage. Requires consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogging. Prune after flowering to maintain desired shape and promote new growth. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer designed for acid-loving plants.
