Planting & Care

1. Planting: Start by selecting a location with well-drained soil and full shade – shade gardens and dry areas are especially suitable for the Sweetbox.

When you’re ready to plant your Fragrant Sweetbox, dig a hole that’s about one and a half to two times the size of your plant’s root ball, place the plant in the hole, back fill the soil and water to settle the roots. Also, mulching around the area is beneficial to lock in moisture during the first few growing seasons.

2. Watering: Once it’s established, your Sweetbox is moderately drought tolerant, but it’s important to have a regular watering schedule for the first few growing seasons. Water about once weekly or check the surrounding soil near your Fragrant Sweetbox. If the surrounding soil is dry about 2 or 3 inches down, it’s time to water.

3. Fertilizing: Apply a well-balanced fertilizer in early spring.

4. Pruning: Prune your Sweetbox in the spring after it flowers – this helps maintain a neat, tidy appearance.
