This entry comes from our curated library and has not yet been independently checked against outside sources. Curated is not unreliable: a standing audit keeps every entry internally consistent, and the source-by-source check is working through the whole library in the open.
Growing The Rising Sun
Plant it in part sun. It prefers moderate water. It is hardy in USDA zones 5–9. Expect it to reach about 13 ft tall and 13 ft wide at maturity, in roughly 10 years.
When to plant The Rising Sun
Plant The Rising Sun in early spring as soon as the soil is workable, or in early fall at least six weeks before your first frost, so roots establish in cool weather. For the middle of its hardy zones 5 to 9 range, spring means March to May and fall means September or October. Once settled, it blooms in April.
Month-by-month timing for your zone is on the planting calendar: for the middle of its range, start with zone 7 in March.
