Care Guide
Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during the first growing season. Water deeply once a week during hot and dry weather. Avoid overwatering, as this can lead to root rot
Maintenance: Remove any dead or damaged branches as needed
Pruning: Deadhead spent flowers to promote continuous blooming throughout the summer. Prune back any leggy or overgrown branches in late winter or early spring to maintain the desired shape and size of the plant
(Optional):Fertilize in early spring with a slow-release fertilizer formulated for flowering shrubs
