Apply mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature, keeping mulch away from the base. Water regularly during establishment. Drought tolerant once established.

Requires cold winters for best bloom performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor detailed planting instructions, visit our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/needhamsnursery.com\/pages\/proper-planting-directions\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProper Planting Directions\u003c\/a\u003e page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cu\u003ePricing \u0026amp; Availability\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll items are subject to availability.
