Plant Care

Will this plant thrive in your climate?

Make sure you live within USDA Zones 4-7 by checking our Grow Zone Guide.

Select a location with at least 6 hours of sunlight for the best bloom production. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Ensure the soil is well-draining; while adaptable to clay or sandy soils, it prefers a slightly acidic to neutral pH (5.5-7.0). Space plants 3-4 feet apart for a seamless hedge or 8 feet apart for individual specimens.

Prune immediately after flowering in late spring. Because this shrub blooms on "old wood" (growth from the previous year), pruning in winter or early spring will remove the flower buds. Remove dead or damaged wood and thin out up to one-third of the oldest stems every few years to maintain vigor and air circulation.

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer (such as a 10-10-10 formula) in early spring before new growth begins. For plants in containers, a water-soluble fertilizer can be used more frequently during the growing season to support its moderate-to-fast growth rate.

Highly cold-hardy down to Zone 3, this plant requires little winter protection. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of organic mulch (bark or shredded leaves) around the base in late fall to insulate roots and retain moisture. Ensure the mulch does not touch the main stem to prevent rot.
