Emerald Blanket
Care Information
Add top soil or organic peat moss to the hole when you plant. You can also add in composted cow manure to enrich the soil around the root ball. Trimming these plants is rarely necessary, though you may want to trim now and then for size or shape. Water regularly but allow time for these shrubs to dry out a bit between waterings. Although carissa is considered drought-tolerant, getting watered on a regular, well-timed basis will keep this shrub pretty and healthy. Fertilize 3 times a year - spring, summer and autumn - with a top quality granular fertilizer.
