Growing Notes

This plant will do best with sun, in too much shade it will stretch and lose its shape. Keep an eye out for leafless patches, as that’s a sign of under watering. Prune to keep on the smaller side or to make the plant more dense. Can also be pruned up to force a treelike form, with a pillowy crown. Will tolerate pruning any time of year. Will spring back well from hard pruning. Tolerates transplanting well.
