Maintenance Notes:

Prefers moist, well-drained soils. Soil pH will affect flower color. If aluminum is present in the soil, acidic soils will produce purple or blue flowers. Absence of aluminum or basic soil conditions will produce pink flowers. Pruning is seldom needed, but may be shaped immediately after early summer bloom. Apply a controlled-release fertilizer in spring.
