Planting and Care Instructions: For container-grown plants, gently remove the plant by squeezing the container and carefully sliding out the root ball. Avoid pulling on the trunk; instead, tip the container to let the root ball slide out. If heavily rooted, loosen the roots by gently pulling a few away from the root ball to encourage stronger root growth. Place the root ball in the hole, ensuring the top is slightly higher (1/2 inch) than ground level. Backfill the soil mix around the plant, removing air pockets. For larger plants, create a soil ring around the plant to act as a water reservoir until established. Secure the trunk of large shrubs with three stakes placed at equal distances.
Fertilizing: Fertilize before and during the active growing cycle, starting just before new growth and ending three to four weeks before the first frost. Use an all-purpose fertilizer recommended for flowering and foliage plants. Liquid and granular quick-release fertilizers require more frequent application, while slow-release granular fertilizers offer sustained feeding. Sprinkle granular fertilizer away from the stems or trunk to prevent burning and water thoroughly after application. Apply water-soluble fertilizer by drenching the leaves and soil. Always follow the fertilizer package directions.
