Care Notes

Plant in acidic to neutral, well-drained soil with some organic matter. Needs a few hours of direct sun daily, but avoid hot afternoon exposure. Drought-tolerant once established. Shelter from direct winter wind and salt blast on the coast to prevent leaf scorch. Spreads slowly by suckers; prune to contain or allow to naturalize. Watch for aphids, scale, whiteflies, and leaf rust on stressed plants.
