Companion Plants | Graduate the height of this planting with Zuni Crape Myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica x fauriei 'Zuni'), which is slightly lower and will create interest with its bronzy new growth to orange-red fall color. Add the red-flowering Dwarf Pomegranate (Punica granatum 'Nana') and Blue Point Juniper (Juniperus chinensis 'Blue Point'), with its pyramidal form, to complement the evergreen. |
Provide well drained soil. Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Watering may be reduced once established. Apply a citrus fertilizer before new growth begins in spring.
