Description | They aren’t picky about soil type, but the planting location should be well-draining.Moderately salt-tolerant, these plants are great for coastal gardens.Add a combination of composted cow manure and top soil (or organic peat moss) to the hole when you plant.Trim lightly if needed after a bloom cycle.You can do a slightly harder pruning in spring for size (best after the plant has completed its first spring flowering).Water on a regular basis. This shrub needs a regular drink to thrive. |
