PLANTING: Plant in a mostly shaded location with plenty of indirect light. Plant in free draining soil rich in organic matter. CARE: Mulch and water regularly until plant becomes established.

PLEASE NOTE: These plants are tube-stock plants, with the benefit of being a young plant they will establish quickly in your garden.
