How to Plant
Dig a generous planting hole and improve the excavated soil with well-rotted organic matter. Plant at the same depth as in the pot, firm in gently, and water thoroughly. Apply mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds (keep mulch off the main stem).
Care Tips
Water regularly in the first growing season; do not allow newly planted roots to dry out
Feed in spring with a balanced fertiliser to support healthy growth
Mulch annually to improve soil structure and moisture retention
Prune only if required to shape, remove dead growth, or manage size (timing depends on flowering habit)
