Use as an accent or in large clusters for maximum visual effect. Complement with a low hedge such as Podocarpus pringles or Carissa macrocarpa to provide visual depth. Feed with a slow-release 14-14-14 granular fertilizer every three months. Protect from extended periods of temperatures below 45F. Foliage may drop in winter but will re-sprout in spring after a hard pruning in March.
