How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water as needed to keep the soil slightly moist but never soggy. After watering, allow the soil moisture to dry completely before watering again.
Pruning
Prune dead, diseased, or rubbing branches. Pruning is best done in late winter to early spring for most shrubs. With spring blooming shrubs, prune after the blooms are spent. Remove up to 1/3rd of the overall shrub, keeping older branches to build up a sturdy, permanent and picturesque framework.
Fertilizer
Mulch annually in spring. As the flowers fade towards midsummer, you can deadhead spent blooms and prune shrubs for height and shape.
