Set the plant in place so the crown (where the roots meet the stem) is level with or just above soil surface. 3. Cover with soil to the original soil surface and water thoroughly. Apply a balanced, slow release fertilizer in early spring (apply according to manufacturer's instructions.) Prune after it blooms in the spring.
