This shrub can be temperamental and siting it in the correct place is essential as it doesn’t like to be transplanted. Some morning sun, a pH of 6.5 -7, fast-draining soil and consistent moisture are mandatory. Mulch the soil to (try to) keep it cool and to lessen moisture loss. In Phoenix, getting the moisture level correct will be a challenge in summer months. If your area is windy, a spot with protection from hot summer winds will help.
