Plant this bluebeard in full sun and ensure it receives at minimum 6 hours of sun a day. Soil should be well drained and moist. It is adaptable to other soils with different PH levels. Fertilizer should be slow release and applied in the spring. The Sunshine Blue II Bluebeard has low water needs and is drought tolerant once established. Cut back hard in spring once new growth emerges. Late season planting is not recommended.

Sunshine Blue II Bluebeard Spacing

When planting in proximity such as groundcover and mass planting, be sure to utilize proper spacing for the health of your plant. The Sunshine Blue II Bluebeard should be planted 24”-36” inches, center on center.
