How to Care for the Plant
Water
Water moderately but regularly until the plant is well established.
Pruning
Cut back after flowering.
Fertilizer
Incorporate fertilizer into the soil when preparing beds for new plants. Established plants should be fed in early spring, then again halfway through the growing season. Avoid applying fertilizer late in the growing season. This stimulates new growth that can be easily damaged by early frosts.
