Prefers enriched, evenly moist, well-drained soils but highly adaptable; tolerates dry conditions and wet soils once established. Water deeply, regularly during first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Fertilize in spring. To encourage bright red stems, hard prune one-third of oldest stems annually in late winter. NOTE: Some flower and plant products may be harmful or poisonous to people or pets if ingested. If you require more information before placing an order, please let us know in advance. |
