Snow Pink Indian Hawthorne is a very drought tolerant plant that should be planted in well-drained soil in either full sun or partial shade. This is one of the best choices among evergreen shrubs for foundation plantings. It is exceptionally hardy and very low-maintenance.

To plant, dig a hole no deeper than the root ball and two to three times the width of the root ball and fill it with water. If the hole drains within a few hours, you have good drainage. If the water is still standing 12 hours later, improve the drainage in your bed, perhaps by establishing a raised bed. Turn and break up the soil removed from the planting hole. If the native soil is dense, compacted or heavy clay mix in a good organic compost or soil amendment at a 50/50 ratio with the soil removed from the hole. Remove your plant from its container and carefully but firmly loosen the root ball. Set the plant into the hole you've prepared, making sure the top of the root ball is slightly above the soil level. Pull your backfill soil mixture around the root ball in the hole, tamping as you go to remove air pockets. Then water thoroughly and cover with a one to two-inch layer of mulch

I feed Indian Hawthorne with a shrub and tree or evergreen type fertilizer or plant food in spring after flowering and again in late summer or very early fall. Cease pruning 2 months prior to the first typical frost date in your area.
