Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Water new plants regularly until established. Mature plants are moderately drought-tolerant but perform best with consistent moisture. Avoid waterlogged conditions.
Prune to shape the shrub and remove dead, damaged, or crossing branches. Best done in late winter or early spring before new growth starts. Can be pruned for size control, but this may reduce flowering.
Easily propagated from seed sown in fall or stratified. Softwood or semi-hardwood cuttings can be taken in summer and rooted under humid conditions.
Not typically grown in pots. If container-grown, repot every 2-3 years in spring into a slightly larger pot with fresh potting mix to refresh the soil and prevent root-bound conditions.
