Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture during establishment, especially in hot weather.

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for acid-loving plants in spring and midsummer. Prune lightly after flowering to shape the shrub and encourage new growth. In cooler zones, grow in a container and move indoors before temperatures drop below 50°F.
