Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant in full sun (around 6 to 8 hours of sunlight daily), in an area with well-drained soil. Once you've selected your location, dig a hole large enough to accommodate your shrub's root ball.
If you're planting in a container, select a pot that's about twice the width of your shrub's shipped container. Use organic soil, place your shrub, and select a sunny spot.
2. Watering: Generally, you'll want to water your shrub about once or twice weekly. If you're not sure when to water, check your shrub's soil about 2 or 3 inches down for dryness.
3. Fertilizing: Use a well-balanced fertilizer in the spring to encourage blooming, and follow label instructions.
4. Pruning: In late winter to early spring, prune each new shoot to just a few buds by cutting or pinching off the others. Larger blooms will result.

United Statesmaybe
great packaging but I’m waiting to see if it actually comes to life in spring. If it does it will be worth the $$ as it was expensive!

United StatesMy new favorite!
I absolutely love this plant! It came packaged nicely and arrived quickly. It even had a few buds on it that bloomed the day after I planted it. I look forward to many years of enjoyment from this plant.

It came fast and very well packed wish I could ordered a bigger one. It does have buds and they should be opening this season. I lost one over the last year that was at least 10 ft high and probably that. Width across and I hope to see a lot of growth at my age of 79 yrs . Thank you, Lore B
