-
Location: Choose a sunny site with well-draining soil; thrives in sandy or rocky soils.
-
Preparation: Dig a hole twice as wide as the pot and just as deep.
-
Planting: Remove the plant from the pot, gently loosen the roots, and place it in the hole with the crown level to the soil surface.
-
Backfill: Fill with soil, firm gently, and water lightly.
