Feed with a balanced fertilizer in early spring when new growth emerges.

Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or fall, spacing plants 25-30 cm apart. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Mix organic matter into the soil before planting. Position the crown at soil level and backfill with amended soil. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture until established. Add a 5 cm layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot.
