plant tips

  • water

    Water once a week with a deep soaking and keep soil moist but not dripping wet — never let it dry out completely. Reduce frequency slightly in cooler months.

  • light

    Loves about 5 to 8 hours of bright, direct sunlight per day, though some afternoon shade is appreciated in the hottest climates.

  • mature size

    Approx. 36" W × 36" H

care

Best pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed to maintain its neat, rounded shape. Use an acidic fertilizer, similar to an azalea or gardenia blend, to boost both foliage color and bloom production. Light trimming between bloom cycles increases both the quantity and frequency of blooms.
