How To Plant Blue Puffball™ Chaste Shrub
Looking to grow your own Blue Puffball™ Chaste Shrub? No need to fret - we have you covered! First, let us consider location, you will want to choose a spot that receives full sun to promote the best blooms possible. The more sun your plant receives, the more blooms will grace your landscape! When considering soil types, the Chaste Shrub does best in a more dry, acidic soil. Locations that hold too much water may cause issues and damage your shrub, so well draining soil is key!
How To Water
After planting your Blue Puffball™ Chaste Shrub, we recommend keeping a normal watering schedule of at least once a week until established. At that point, the Blue Puffball™ Chaste Shrub does offer drought tolerance, however, keep a watchful eye on your shrub and water in times of high heat or drought.
How To Fertilize
We recommend feeding your Blue Puffball™ Chaste Shrub once in early spring, before the push of new growth. This will ensure your plant is receiving the proper nutrients needed for a happy and healthy growing season! See our fertilizer guide for more information.
How To Prune
As your Blue Puffball™ Chaste Shrub blooms on new growth, we recommend pruning in late fall or early spring so you may still enjoy the blooms when the time comes! Due to the compact growth habit, pruning is not a necessity.
