4. Planting & Maintenance Guidelines
- Planting Season: Spring or autumn is best; container-grown plants can be transplanted year-round except in freezing winter or mid-summer heat.
- Pruning: Remove old, woody stems from the base (about 1/3) after flowering or in early spring to encourage vigorous new shoots. Do not sheer severely.
- Irrigation & Fertilization: Water deeply after planting. Apply balanced organic fertilizer during the growing season and phosphorus-potassium-rich feed in late summer to intensify winter red colors.
