Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
Grow in well-drained soil in full sun; will tolerate some shade. It is fine in any soil other than wet soil or badly draining soil. Drought tolerant and good for windswept areas. Add in some well rotted manure or compost when planting young plants and water in well.
