Planting and Care Guide

Planting Tips

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil. Space 6–10 feet apart. Water thoroughly after planting and mulch 2–3 inches deep, keeping mulch away from the trunk.

Care Tips

Water deeply and regularly the first 2–3 seasons; once established it is highly drought tolerant. Do not top or 'crape murder'- the natural vase shape is beautiful. Prune only to remove crossing branches and dead wood in late winter. Fertilize lightly in spring. Center Stage® Red produces vivid, rich red flower clusters over a very long season from midsummer through fall. The peeling, attractive bark provides winter interest. Largely pest-free. Best in warm climates where it can fully express its ornamental potential.
