Soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting. Choose a location with well-drained soil and partial to full sun. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the root system, place the plant so the crown is at or slightly above soil level, and backfill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist during the first growing season. Apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape if desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, Sweetshrub is relatively drought-tolerant but benefits from regular watering during dry spells. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced fertilizer if growth appears weak.
