Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a well-drained location with full sun to partial shade. Dig a hole that’s twice the width of the root ball but no deeper than the root ball itself.  Place the shrub at soil level and backfill with a mix of native soil and compost.  Spread a layer of mulch 3 feet around the shrub and water deeply.  2. Watering: Ensure regular watering until established, watering when the top 2" of soil are dry. Once established, 'Slowmound' is drought-tolerant and requires less frequent watering. 3. Pruning: Minimal pruning is needed. For shape maintenance, light trimming can be done in early spring just before new growth begins. 4. Fertilizing: Fertilize in spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to support healthy growth without overwhelming the plant.
