 Zone & Origin

Native to Korea and Japan, this resilient shrub has found a perfect home in the cooler, temperate climes of the Himalayan foothills and is expertly cultivated in Kashmir. Suited for USDA Hardiness Zones 4-8, it is well-adapted to the Indian climate.

Temperature

Prefers moderate temperatures. It can tolerate a range from -29°C to 32°C (-20°F to 90°F), making it remarkably adaptable to varying Indian weather conditions, especially cooler regions.

 Soil Mix

Enjoys well-draining, fertile soil. A mix of garden loam, compost, and a touch of coarse sand or perlite is ideal. Ensure the soil pH is slightly acidic to neutral.

 Basic Care Guide

• Watering: Water regularly, especially during dry spells, keeping the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
• Pruning: Prune immediately after flowering to shape and encourage denser growth. Remove any dead or crossing branches.
• Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring.
• Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Animal Friendly

Generally considered safe for pets. However, always supervise pets around new plants to ensure they do not ingest any part of it.
