Plant in spring or early fall, spacing plants 12-18 inches apart. Dig holes twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Place plant at the same level it was growing in the container, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Add a thin layer of mulch around plants, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot. For container planting, ensure adequate drainage holes and use well-draining potting mix.
