Growing and Care Instructions

Soil: Acidic, well-draining
Harvest Season: Late spring to early summer
Pollination: Self-fertile
Use an acid-loving plant fertilizer (such as one for azaleas, camellias, or blueberries)

Avoid high-nitrogen lawn fertilizers near the plant — they can damage roots

Slow-release or organic options (like cottonseed meal or blueberry-specific blends) work great

Do not fertilize late in the season, as it can encourage tender growth before winter
