🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Keep soil evenly moist during establishment; mature plants need about 1 inch of water per week, applied at the base.
Fertilizer
Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced water-soluble or organic fertilizer; bloom-boosting fertilizer high in phosphorus is recommended for maximum flowering.
Pruning
Prune in late March or early April once buds start to break, or when forsythia blooms.
