Plant in full sun and well-drained soil for best results. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish strong roots, then reduce frequency as the plant matures. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape, and apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to encourage a healthy bloom cycle. Hardy in USDA Zones 7–10, this hawthorn bush brings long-lasting beauty with very little fuss.
