• Fill the hole with soil and water thoroughly

SOIL:

• Prefers well-drained, fertile soil

• Avoid heavy clay or wet soil

MULCH:

• Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the shrub

• Keep mulch away from the stem to avoid rot

LIGHT:

• Can tolerate hot, dry conditions

WATER:

• Water deeply once a week, especially during dry periods

FERTILIZE:

• Fertilize once a year in spring with an all-purpose fertilizer
