Maintenance Tips:

1. Sunlight and Soil:

   • Plant Snowsurfer Compact in a location with full sun to partial shade, ensuring ample sunlight for robust flowering. Provide well-drained, loamy soil with good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

3. Deadheading:

   • Remove spent flowers promptly to prolong the blooming period and encourage continuous flowering. Deadheading redirects the plant's energy into producing new blooms and prevents self-seeding.

   • Prune Snowsurfer Compact lightly after the flowering period to maintain its compact shape and encourage fresh growth. Trim back any straggly or overgrown stems to promote a dense and bushy appearance.

5. Fertilization:

   • Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring to provide essential nutrients for healthy growth and flowering. Avoid excessive fertilization, as it may result in lush foliage at the expense of flower production.
