Care & maintenance

Requires acidic, well-drained soil. Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter. Water regularly, especially during dry periods and while establishing. Apply an acid-loving plant fertilizer in early spring. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage bushiness.
