Growing Profusion Double Hot Cherry in Alabama
Set plants out after frost danger passes, in a site with at least six hours of direct sun. Well-drained soil is essential; water young plants regularly, then water deeply as needed during dry weather. Keep leaves as dry as practical and allow space between plants for air circulation in the Southeast’s summer humidity. A modest amount of fertilizer in containers can support flowering, but excessive nitrogen encourages leaves over blooms. This warm-season annual flowers from late spring through fall, often continuing until the first frost, and generally needs little deadheading.
