• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Avoid excessive fertilization, which can lead to lush foliage at the expense of color.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Refresh mulch annually.
