Watering

Water regularly, keep soil evenly moist, especially during the flowering season.

Fertilizing

Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring and a light feed after blooming.

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 heeled semi-hardwood cuttings

Growing

Grow in light, moist but well-drained, humus-rich, neutral to acidic soils. Suitable for shrub border or for growing in woodland garden or against a wall
