#ProPlantTips for Care

Grow your Zuzu in either full sun or partial shade. They will need well-drained soil that sheds water quickly.

Support the performance with an easy addition of Nature Hills Root Booster to your backfill soil while planting. Mycorrhizal fungus, and other proven ingredients support the tiny feeder roots ability to access micronutrients over the entire lifespan of your plant.

Apply a medium amount of water regularly, especially when the plant is young. If you live in a dry climate, they'll do best with afternoon shade.

Add a three-inch layer of mulch to keep the root system cool and moist. Pull mulch back from directly touching the trunk.

If you want to prune to shape, or hold it to a smaller size, wait until the flowers are done. Prune right after the flowering is finished for the season, as they produce blooms on old wood.
