Planting Instructions
Prepare the Hole: Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and equal in depth, allowing space for root development.
Soil Preparation: Mix compost into the excavated soil to improve structure and drainage.
Planting: Position the shrub so the top of the root ball sits level with the soil surface, then backfill and firm gently.
Water After Planting: Water thoroughly to settle the soil and support early establishment of Olearia phlogopappa ‘Spring Bling’.
