How to Grow
Light: Full sun (6+ hours sun) to part sun (4-6 hours sun)
Water: Requires regular watering, especially in the heat. Add a layer of mulch beneath them to retain soil moisture
Spacing: Min 1’ apart.
Fertilizing: Prune or trim after spring bloom to encourage new growth and more abundant rebloom.
Winterizing: Plant in a protected area from harsh winter winds to help prevent winter damage. Insulate the base of the shrub with a thick layer of mulch to reduce winter damage.
Maintenance & pruning: Regular pruning is not required, but plants can be trimmed to remove any dead growth or maintain shape
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:
Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.
I purchased 2 and planted last year mid May, however I had no blooms. This year I seen one bloom with such a pretty color, but no foliage. I’ve amended & fertilized the soil this spring, so I hope it does good and gets healthier or I’ll be disappointed.
