Setup, Compatibility & Care

Planting: Choose a location with well-draining soil. Amend heavy clay soils with compost or other organic matter to improve drainage.
Sunlight: Plant in a spot that receives full sun to partial shade. More sun will encourage more abundant flowering.
Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish the plant. Once established, it is drought-tolerant, but occasional watering during dry spells will benefit it.
Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer to encourage growth and flowering.
Pruning: Prune after the flowering season is over. Remove about one-third of the older stems at the base to promote new growth. This will help maintain its shape and encourage more blooms for the following year. Avoid pruning in late summer or fall, as this can affect next year's blooms.
Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
Compatibility: This shrub works well with other drought-tolerant plants, making it suitable for xeriscaping and rock gardens.
