Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:

Prefers moist, organically rich, well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. Tolerates some drought once established. Pruning can be done right after flowering. Remove suckers unless naturalization is desired. Plants can be fertilized in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer. Avoid doing so for the first two years after planting the shrub. Mulching is beneficial.
