Growing Tips

Plant in a location with full sun exposure and well-draining soil. Water regularly, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the shrub and remove any dead or damaged branches. Its fragrant flowers make it a lovely addition to gardens where its scent can be appreciated.
