-
Planting Tips:
- Choose a well-draining location with full sun to partial shade for planting Serendipity.
- Dig a hole twice the diameter of the plant's root ball and place it at the same depth as it was in the container.
- Space multiple plants approximately 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper air circulation.
-
Watering:
- Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during the plant's active growing season in spring and early summer.
- Avoid overhead watering to prevent fungal diseases, and instead, water at the base of the plant to deliver moisture directly to the roots.
-
Use our MOISTURE MAXX non-ionic wetting agent all year or during times of drought for extended help keeping your plants well hydrated for up to 40 days.
-
Mulching:
- Apply a layer of organic mulch, such as shredded bark or compost, around the base of the plant to help retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature.
- Maintain a mulch layer of 2-3 inches, ensuring it doesn't come into direct contact with the plant's stems to prevent rotting.
-
Pruning:
- Remove spent flower heads promptly to encourage prolonged blooming and prevent self-seeding.
- Trim back any yellowing or withered foliage as needed to maintain the plant's aesthetic appeal and vigor.
-
Fertilizing Guidelines:
- Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer like HI-COTE 360 in spring as new growth emerges to provide essential nutrients for robust flowering and foliage development.
- Avoid excessive fertilization, as it can lead to lush foliage at the expense of blooms.
