Care Information
Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Watering can be reduced after establishment. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring.
Planting Instructions:
Dig hole twice as wide and just as deep as the root ball. Place the plant into the new hole making sure that the top of the root ball is level with existing soil line. Fill in the hole, using Rose and Flower Mix at a ratio of 2 shovels native soil to 1 shovel Rose and Flower mix (pack down soil around the root ball so that your soil doesn't settle). With extra soil make a basin around the plant to retain water. Do not forget the Seaweed Extract, mix in 1 and ¼ ounces of extract to 1 gallon of water pour around base of plant. In three weeks retreat with Seaweed Extract.¼ ounces of extract to 1 gallon of water pour around base of plant. In three weeks retreat with Seaweed Extract.
Fertilizing During The Season:
You will want to fertilize in April, June, and September, we suggest Yum Yum its a great organic fertilizer designed for our soil. Don't forget to use a Winterizer or Yum Yum Winterizer in November and January to help promote vigorous root systems. Bad Soil? Do not forget the soil supplements!
