'BloomStruck' is specifically bred for increased heat tolerance, making it an excellent choice for the Houston climate. While it can tolerate various soil conditions, it is sensitive to "wet feet." In areas with heavy clay, we recommend planting in raised beds or amending with compost to ensure the sharp drainage this variety needs to thrive during our rainy seasons.
Exposure
Part Shade (Morning sun is ideal; requires protection from the intense 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM Texas sun)
Height x Width
3-4 ft. Tall x 4-5 ft. Wide
Water
High; needs consistent moisture, especially during August heat waves in the Houston metro area.
Zones
4 - 9
Fertilization
Use a balanced granular fertilizer in early spring. Add Aluminum Sulfate for blue blooms or Lime for pink.
Pruning
Prune only to remove dead wood or spent blooms; this variety flowers on both old and new wood.
