Planting: Start by choosing an area with well-drained soil and plenty of sun for your Pocomoke, as it needs about 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day. Once you’ve chosen your planting location, dig a hole approximately 2 times the width of your plant’s root ball. Place your Pocomoke Crape, back fill its soil and then water to settle the roots. 2. Watering: Water your shrub regularly, about once or twice weekly during the first growing season. If you’re not sure when to water, simply check the surrounding soil about 2 to 3 inches down – if it’s dry, it’s time to water. 3. Fertilizing: Feed your Pocomoke Crape with a general-purpose fertilizer during spring, before new growth begins. 4. Pruning: Prune your shrub for shaping purposes during late winter or early spring for best results.
