PLANTING : Plant in any well-drained soil in full sun.
CARE: Mulch and water regularly until the plant is established, usually around 12 weeks, and protect from frost while young. Suckers if roots are damaged so mulch well at the base unless you are using this attribute to knit banks and slopes together.
