Zenobia thrives in moist, acidic, well-drained soils in partial shade, much like its fellow Ericaceae relatives such as azaleas and blueberries. Keep the soil consistently moist and mulch heavily to retain moisture and maintain soil acidity. It benefits from light pruning after flowering to maintain a tidy shape and encourage fresh growth.
