Growing & Maintenance:
Isotoma grows best in well-drained soils. Loosen soil and incorporate an organic soil conditioner according to directions. Dig hole twice the width of container and a depth slightly less than the height of soil in container. Allow top surface of the container soil to rest slightly higher than the prepared soil. Feed lightly once a month, spring to fall. Drought tolerant once established.
