To prepare for planting, loosen the soil to a depth of about 12 inches and remove any weeds, rocks, or debris from the area. If the soil lacks nutrients, consider adding organic matter like compost or manure to improve its structure and fertility. When planting Spiraea japonica 'Little Princess', dig a hole slightly wider and just as deep as the root ball. Carefully transfer the plant from its container, making sure not to disturb the roots too much. Place the root ball in the hole, ensuring that it is level with the surrounding soil. Firmly pack the soil around the base of the plant and water thoroughly. Add a layer of organic mulch, such as wood chips or shredded bark, around the base to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the first growing season. Though drought-tolerant once established, regular watering during dry periods will benefit Spiraea japonica 'Little Princess'.
