My new Glowing Embers

Mj

Hi all!

I just planted Glowing Embers in my front yard yesterday. It is planted near a Crape Myrtle (new as well) which was supposed to give my Hydrangea some shade... But what I didn't realize that it is not all enough now to do so. This spot gets sun from approximately 9:30AM-1:30~2pm, so it does get some afternoon sun. When Crape Myrtle is larger, it should block out some sun I think. Would my Glowing Embers be ok until Crape Myrtle grows tall enough?

Should I just plan to water more frequently until it establishes itself? It was still in the pot outside for about a week before we planted in the ground, and I noticed some browned leaves when I planted yesterday. It rained a LOT that week in my area, so I did not water the pot every day. But maybe rain + my watering wasnt enough for it? Or was this being damaged by too much sun???

Thanks!
