Planting Instructions:

  • - Can be planted anytime the soil temps are 60F

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.0, though varies by species
  • - Prefers well-drained soil with organic matter for most bush varieties

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water thoroughly when first planted, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings
  • - Once established, most bushes are drought-tolerant but benefit from regular watering during dry spells

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth
  • - Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can promote excessive foliage growth at the expense of blooms or fruit

Pruning and Training:

  • - Prune in late winter or early spring to control size and shape, depending on the bush variety
  • - Remove any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to promote healthy growth

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Most bushes are pest-resistant, though monitor for aphids, mites, or scale insects depending on the species
  • - Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal issues in dense growth

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Tolerates heat and cold once established
