Plant Sapphire Surf® Bluebeard in well-drained soil with full sun exposure. Space plants about 3 feet apart. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Once established, reduce watering frequency. Prune in late winter or early spring to encourage new growth and maintain shape. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Protect from harsh winter conditions in colder climates.
