Planting

How to Grow

Choose a location receiving at least 6 hours of direct sun.
Ensure the soil is sandy, gravelly, and drains very quickly.
Dig a shallow hole just large enough for the root ball.
Settle the plant in, backfilling with the native soil.
Water sparingly after planting to help it establish.
Avoid organic mulch, which can trap moisture and cause rot.

Pro Tip

Excellent drainage is non-negotiable; amend soil with gravel or coarse sand to prevent winter root rot, especially in colder zones.
