Meet your green friend.

A space where it can thrive
Grow outdoors in a position suited to the plant. Containers need drainage and closer moisture checks than garden beds.

Your care routine
Watering
Soak the root ball and surrounding soil during dry spells, including autumn before the ground freezes.
Soil & drainage
Well-drained soil; use container potting mix in pots.
Fertilizer
Feed only as needed during active growth, following the fertilizer label.
Outdoor hardiness
Breeder rating: USDA zones 3–8; confirm local Canadian suitability.
Humidity
Allow air to circulate between plants. Water the soil rather than wetting foliage.
Through the seasons
Usually needs little pruning. Trim green tips lightly if required; protect new plants from drying winter winds.
When your plant needs help
- Deer may browse foliage.
- Dry roots and winter exposure can cause browning.
Pets & little ones
Do not ingest foliage or oils; keep trimmings away from chewing pets.
