Planting Care & Instructions
To plant: Find a full sun location that receives 6+ hours of direct sun per day. Dig a hole slightly larger than the plant's root system. Place the plant in the center of the hole with crown at soil level. Back fill with soil. Firm the soil around the roots as you back fill.
Water thoroughly at planting and as needed during the growth process.
Growing Tips
