Plant it in the ground after danger of frost is past. If it's very small, the biggest threat is forgetting it, and accidently mowing it or stepping on it. Stick a colorful flag beside it the first year or two, until it's big enough to be noticable.





Water when you plant it, and every week or so for the first couple months, after that, water during droughts.
