Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or fall, spacing plants 8-12 inches apart. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Place the plant at the same level it was growing in the container, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Apply a thin layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot.
