Care & maintenance

Prefers well-drained, acidic soil rich in organic matter. Provide consistent moisture, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogging. Apply a slow-release, acid-loving fertilizer in early spring. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and remove any spent flower clusters. Protect from harsh winter winds in exposed locations.
