water info |
For this plant summer water is not recommended. You’ll rob yourself of the main reason people grow this plant (to see the fall season rose-like form). Let it go through summer, resist watering even if it looks like it is shriveling up and “dying” as long as you are relatively near the coast it will be fine. Resume watering from October - May if winter rains fail. |
