Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Prefers average to loamy, medium moisture, well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Adapts to a wide range of soil conditions, including occasional drought once established. Avoid heavy pruning but plants can be pruned to shape in spring after flowering and root suckers can be removed to control possible spread. Apply a controlled release fertilizer in spring.
