Thrives in enriched, well-drained soils, but very adaptable. Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Once established, reduce frequency; tolerates mild, periodic dry spells. Apply a general purpose fertilizer in early spring. For a tidy, formal appearance, prune annually to shape.
