Planting Guide

Planting: Plant in any well-drained soil. Dig a hole to fit the roots without bending or circling. Set the crown 1–2 inches below the soil surface. Backfill and water thoroughly immediately after planting.

Watering: Prefer deep watering once per week over daily light watering. Drought tolerant once established — avoid waterlogged conditions.

Seasonal care: Remove spent blooms and dead foliage as needed. Cut foliage to ground level in late fall and mulch over the root zone. In colder climates, spring planting is recommended. Avoid planting July–September in the South during high heat and humidity above 90°F.
