Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or fall, spacing plants 2-3 feet apart. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Place the plant at the same level it was growing in the container, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the crown. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system.
