Care Notes

Plant in well-drained, lean to moderately fertile soil; overly rich or wet soil promotes floppy growth and reduces hardiness. Shear lightly after flowering and again in late summer to maintain a compact, tidy form. Avoid hard pruning into old wood. Established plants tolerate dry spells; reduce irrigation in fall to harden off before winter.
