Plant Care

Planting Instructions
Plant in spring or fall, spacing plants 12-15 inches apart. Dig a hole twice the width of the container and at the same depth. Remove the plant from its container, gently loosen the root ball, and place it in the hole. Backfill with soil, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface. Water thoroughly after planting and apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot.
