This plant can tolerate high humidity levels.

This is a late spring to early fall blooming plant.

Fertilize this shrub in the spring with a slow release fertilizer.

Ensure your plant has had a drink in the last couple of days. Plant in the full sun (6-8 hours) for best blooming results. Dig a hole twice the width of the grower pot and slightly shorter in depth. Add soil conditioner and a root hormone and mix in the compost if your soil is unhealthy or clay (half compost-half native soil). Water the roots in the hole, then fill with the mixed soil. Tamp around the plant to release all air pockets. Water again. Keep watch and measure your soil moisture every couple of days to ensure the roots are moist but not soggy. Once the plant establishes the roots in the surrounding soil, in 6 months to a year, the plant can tolerate drought conditions. Then, you can let the plant's soil dry out between waterings a bit more.

To promote more flower growth, trim the first flush of flowers after they fade. This plant's flowers are sterile, so no worry for volunteers. Trim out dead or damaged branches in late winter before growth begins. Shorten stems that intersect and rub against other branches. When trimming, cut above slightly above a bud.
