Maintenance Tips

• Tolerates drought once established; water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system.
• Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the shrub and encourage vigorous growth. Can be pruned heavily if needed.
• Adapts to a wide range of soil conditions, including sandy, rocky, and clay soils; prefers well-drained soils.
• Apply a layer of mulch to conserve soil moisture, suppress weeds, and provide nutrient-rich organic matter.
• Low maintenance; monitor for pests and diseases, but generally resistant to major problems.
