Keep in mind when planting that Wilja is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside. Ideally plant in loamy and clay soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.0 and 6.0 as Wilja likes to be in moderately acidic soil to weakly acidic soil.
