Fertilizing
Balanced perennial feed every four weeks spring through summer growth
Pruning
Little pruning is needed. Remove diseased, damaged, crowded or crossing shoots and unwanted growth. Timing depends on the plant: generally late winter or early spring; plants prone to bleeding and deciduous magnolias need different timing, and deciduous azaleas and lilacs are pruned after flowering.
Propagation
Propagate by seed sown in containers in a cold frame in autumn, or by greenwood cuttings
Growing
Grow in fertile, moist but well-drained, acid soil, in partial shade. Ideal for woodland. Needs male and female plants to produce berries
