General Care

- Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish a healthy root system; once established, needs only occasional watering during extended dry periods
- Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base to help conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature, leaving a small gap around the stems for proper airflow.
- Pruning: Remove spent flower clusters in late spring or early summer to keep the shrub tidy and encourage fresh, prolific blooming in subsequent seasons.
