Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Prefers infertile loam or average soil with medium moisture and very well-drained conditions. Does best in full sun and tolerates a wide range of soils except wet, poorly-drained ones. Pruning can be done very lightly in late winter or early spring as needed or if blooming is not important the plant can be cut back further to encourage vigorous new growth. Mulching is beneficial.
