Care Guide: Keep ‘Kramer’s Rote’
- Light: Loves full sun. The more light it gets, the brighter those crimson blooms burn.
- Soil: Thrives in acidic, well-draining soil. Sandy or gritty? Perfect. Heavy clay? Give it a boost with some organic matter.
- Watering: Water regularly, especially in its first year, but don’t drown it—this plant likes its feet damp, not soggy.
- Feeding: A spring dose of acidic plant fertilizer keeps it blooming like it means it.
- Pruning: Trim back spent blooms in late spring to encourage fresh growth and keep it compact.
- Hardiness: It thrives through frost and snow, proving winter isn’t a death sentence for beauty.
