Planting & Care

Sow seeds indoors in pots or directly outdoors in fall after stratification. Plant seeds about 1/4 inch deep in well-draining soil and keep consistently moist until germination. Once seedlings are large enough, transplant to their permanent location in full sun. Water regularly during the first year to help establish a strong root system. Apply mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Prune as needed to maintain shape and remove dead or crossing branches.
