This tough yet elegant plant thrives in moist, well-drained soil, making it an excellent choice for shaded areas that need a bit of life and color throughout the growing season. Planting Care 1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location with partial to full shade and ensure the soil is rich and well-draining. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and gently place the plant. Cover the roots with soil and water thoroughly. 2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry spells. Water about once a week, ensuring deep saturation to encourage healthy growth. Mulching around the base can help retain moisture. 3. Pruning: In late fall, allow the foliage to remain until the first frost to help protect the crown. In early spring, cut back the old foliage to promote new growth. 4. Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. This will provide the necessary nutrients for robust growth and abundant blooms throughout the year.
