Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:

For new plantings
1. Dig a hole one and a half times wider than the plant's container

3. Back fill with dirt
4. Water thoroughly and then mulch around the base to conserve moisture and reduce weeds


Care Instructions
New plantings require more frequent watering than established plants. Wind, temperature and soil are factors to consider in watering.
Feed plants in early spring and again in early fall with an all-purpose fertilizer, following label instructions. Ramblin' Man™ Weeping Holly is an attractive, low-maintenance evergreen that requires little pruning. Water moderately, fertilize in spring, and mulch annually. To maintain a natural shape, prune in midsummer by selectively cutting back only the stems that have gotten too big. Cut back leggy or bare patches to the desired shape to encourage new growth. Keeping the plant healthy will give it the best chance to fill in any open areas that might be present.
