Plant George Taber in a location with good drainage and protection from intense afternoon sun. Allow adequate space near buildings and walkways so the shrub can grow without frequent pruning.
Mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture, keeping mulch away from the stems. Avoid planting too deeply or in areas where water collects.
Prune immediately after spring flowering if shaping is needed. Pruning later in the year can remove developing flower buds and reduce the following spring’s display.
