Complete Care & Growing Guide

Light Requirements

Thrives in full sun to partial shade. In warmer climates, provide afternoon shade to prevent stress and maintain flower color intensity.

Soil

Prefers well-drained, rich soil with good organic matter. Soil pH affects bloom color—more acidic soils produce blue flowers, while alkaline soils yield pink blooms.

Watering

Keep soil consistently moist, especially during the first growing season and during hot weather. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: This is a large landscape tree and as such, requires a bit of planning before planting. First, measure the area where you would like to plant your hedge or row. You will need the length of the area of planting to estimate the number of trees you need.

When planting, dig a hole for each tree that is three times as wide as the root ball but just as deep. Place the tree, fill in around the tree with the same soil you took out when initially digging the hole. Finally, tamp down as you fill to cut back on any air pockets from forming, water the tree, then mulch to conserve moisture.

2. Watering: For the first two weeks, water your new tree every other day by holding a hose around it and counting to 20. If you don’t have a hose, 2 large watering cans full of water will do (smaller trees may only need a light soaking so a single can may suffice).
