Illicium ‘Lemon Sorbet’ care tips

Plant Illicium ‘Lemon Sorbet’ in a partially shaded location with shelter from strong winds and afternoon sun in hot climates. It prefers moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter but will adapt to a range of soil types once established. Water regularly during dry periods in its first year to help roots develop, then reduce watering as it becomes more drought-tolerant. Plant in spring or autumn for the best establishment and seasonal growth.
