Care Guide: Serve Up the Perfect Plum Pudding

1. Light: Thrives in part shade but can handle full sun in cooler climates. Keep it out of the afternoon blaze to preserve its rich color.
2. Soil: Well-draining, fertile soil is a must. Add organic matter to keep it thriving and luxurious.
3. Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged—this plant prefers its roots hydrated but never drowning.
4. Feeding: A spring dose of balanced fertilizer keeps its colors bold and its foliage lush.
5. Pruning: Trim back tired leaves as needed to maintain its pristine appearance and give it a light tidy-up in late winter.
6. Hardiness: Hardy down to USDA zone 4, it stands strong through winter’s chill, remaining evergreen in milder climates.
