Setup, Compatibility & Care
Upon arrival, ensure the plants are well-watered while still in their nursery pots. For planting, choose a site with well-draining, fertile soil. If planting in pots, use a high-quality loam-based compost to provide stability for the bush.
- Preparation: Dig a hole twice the width of the nursery pot.
- Planting: Place the root ball at the same depth it was in the pot and backfill with soil.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the first growing season.
- Pruning: Prune in winter to remove congested or crossing branches, keeping the center of the bush open to improve air circulation and sunlight penetration.
