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.
