Care Guide: Keep the Glow Alive

  1. Light: Thrives in part shade to full shade; tolerates some morning sun, which enhances its vibrant foliage.
  2. Soil: Prefers moist, well-draining soil but adapts to a wide range of conditions.
  3. Watering: Water regularly during establishment; once established, it’s drought-tolerant.
  4. Feeding: A balanced fertilizer in spring promotes lush growth and abundant flowers.
  5. Pruning: Trim as needed to maintain shape and control its spread; cut back in early spring to encourage fresh growth.
  6. Hardiness: Hardy down to USDA zone 4, it provides evergreen coverage in milder climates.
