Planting & seasonal timing
Northern Hemisphere planting months: not yet verified in our database.
Northern Hemisphere pruning months: March, April.
For the Southern Hemisphere, these seasonal windows shift approximately six months. Check your local frost forecast, soil temperature, and species requirements; calendar months are not a guarantee of planting safety.
Best color in partial shade; too much sun can scorch leaves. New growth often emerges pink before maturing to white and green. Slower to fill than the all-green species.
Pruning
Trim in early spring. Remove any all-green reversions to maintain variegation.
Fertilizer
Balanced (10-10-10)
Early spring
Mulch
Mulch around new plantings until established.
