🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Requires a constant supply of moisture of at least 1-2 inches a week; water at the base of the plant early in the morning to keep foliage dry.
Fertilizer
Fertilize every 4 to 6 weeks after new plant growth appears in the spring.
Pruning
Prune annually in the spring after removing winter mulch; remove dead wood, trim canes to 6-8 inches, and remove weak or older canes.
Pests & Diseases
Wet foliage encourages fungal diseases.
