Care & Growing Tips
Plant in full sun to part shade in well-drained, enriched soil. In warmer climates, a protected position away from hot afternoon sun and strong winds will help maintain leaf quality.

Water regularly while establishing, keeping soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Apply mulch annually to retain moisture and protect the root system.

Minimal pruning is required—only shape lightly if needed or remove damaged growth.
