Prefers rich, moist, well-drained soil and partial sun to shade. Tolerates full sun only with consistent moisture. Water regularly until established and weekly from then on. Fertilize in spring with a slow release acidic fertilizer. Little pruning may be needed but pruning can be done after leaves start to emerge.
