Care & maintenance

Plant in well-draining, acidic soil amended with organic matter. Apply a slow-release, acid-loving fertilizer in early spring. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage new growth. Protect from harsh winter winds in colder zones.
