Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:
- Needs little maintenance. In spring, after new growth begins to emerge, you can remove any stems that aren’t showing signs of life – do not prune until you see signs of new growth.
- Mulch is a good idea.
- Plant in full shade, full sun or anywhere in between.
