    Maintenance Notes: 

    Best in moist, well-drained, acidic soil. Fertilize in spring. Pruning is seldom needed, but may be shaped after flowering. Extra mulch around the base may be helpful in cooler climates.

    PLEASE NOTE: Most variegated plants are at their best and brightest in early spring, when the new growth first emerges and the weather is on the cooler side. Jazz Hands Variegated, however, is the opposite: its variegation actually develops later in the season, as the weather gets hotter. To get the best variegation, keep the plant growing vigorously - in other words, don't allow it to experience water stress, fertilize monthly with a rose fertilizer - and provide some shade during the hottest part of the day. The variegation will develop in full sun sites, but is much more vivid if it gets some shade.
