Growing Tips:

USDA Hardiness Zone: 7-11

Full sun or partial shade. Use rich, well-draining soil with a PH of 6.1-6.5 Water to keep the soil moist but not wet. Use a balanced fertilizer monthly to bi-monthly during summer, keeping care to watch the feeding to prevent too much growth if grown as a container plant unless you intend to repot.
