Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Start by stratifying the seeds to break dormancy. Mix seeds with moist sand and store them in a sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator for 2-3 months.

Sowing:

Sow the seeds in late fall or early spring directly into well-drained soil. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade.

Lightly press the seeds into the soil surface and cover with a thin layer of soil.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist during germination, which may take 4-6 weeks.

Seeds can also be started indoors in seed trays filled with seed-starting mix. Keep the trays in a cool location (about 40-50 °F) for 2-3 months before moving them to a warmer spot to germinate.

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough, transplant them into their permanent location with 2-3 feet spacing between plants.

Ensure the soil is well-drained and enriched with organic matter to support healthy growth.

Care and Maintenance:

Water young plants regularly, especially during dry spells, to establish a strong root system.

Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weed growth.

Prune the shrubs in late winter or early spring to maintain their shape and encourage new growth.
