How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds in a well-drained seed-starting mix.

Lightly press seeds into the soil and cover with about 1/4 inch of soil.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Place trays or pots in a warm location with indirect sunlight.

Germination may take several weeks; transplant seedlings once they are strong enough.

How to Grow

Grow in full sun to partial shade for best growth.

Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between watering.

Use well-drained soil to prevent root rot.

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer during early spring.

Light pruning helps maintain the upright, columnar shape.

Tips

Avoid overwatering, especially in heavy soils.

Mulch around the base to retain moisture and control weeds.

Protect young plants from extreme heat or frost.

Prune lightly rather than heavily to keep a neat vertical form.
