Planting Instructions:
Choose a sunny to partially sunny spot with well-draining, acidic soil. If you’re planting in a container, ensure it has adequate drainage holes and use a potting mix designed for acid-loving plants. Excavate a hole as deep as the root ball and twice as wide, carefully place the bush in the hole, and spread out the roots. Fill in with soil, water thoroughly to remove air pockets and settle the soil, and add a layer of mulch like pine needles or acid compost to conserve moisture and add acidity to the soil.
