Lightly prune to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged wood in late winter or early spring, just after flowering. Prune to maintain a rounded shape and remove any crossing or inward-growing branches. Avoid heavy pruning as it may affect the shrub's overall structure and bloom production.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMulching\u003c\/strong\u003e: Mulch around the base of the shrub to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect the roots. A 2–3 inch layer of organic mulch, such as bark or wood chips, works well.
