Planting Tips:
Choose a spot with good air circulation and rich, well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball. Space plants 8–10 feet apart for a dramatic hedge or specimen planting. Water deeply after planting and mulch to conserve moisture. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage strong branching.
