Planting & Care   1. Planting: Select an area with full to partial sun (4 to 6 hours of sunlight daily) and well-drained soil. From there, dig a hole large enough to accommodate your shrub's rootball, place your shrub, and backfill the soil. Water after planting to settle your shrub's roots. 2. Watering: You should water when the surface soil dries about 1 to 3 inches down. Once your Red is established, rainfall should suffice, but you'll want to water your young shrubs about once or twice weekly. 3. Fertilizing: Feed with a well-balanced fertilizer after your shrub's blooms have dropped. 4. Pruning: Shear for shaping purposes in fall or early winter. You can remove dead and broken branches at any time of the year.
