General Care

- Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish strong roots and support bud development; once established, requires minimal supplemental watering except during extended dry periods
- Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature
- Pruning: Prune just after flowering to maintain a neat shape and encourage next year's blooms
