Well-draining loamy soil with good aeration; tolerant of various pH but prefers neutral to slightly acidic.
Water regularly during active growth; allow topsoil to dry between waterings. Reduce significantly in winter dormancy.
Requires full sun exposure (6+ hours daily) for optimal growth, flowering, and hardiness acclimation.
Apply balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins. Avoid late-season fertilization.
Prune in late winter after frost risk passes to remove dead wood and shape the shrub.
