Watering

Fertilizing

Balanced perennial feed every four weeks from spring through summer

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 greenwood cuttings in early summer

Growing

Needs sub-tropical conditions and acid soil, so only suitable for frost-free areas. Best grown in a container in ericaceous potting compost and overwintered in a conservatory or frost-free greenhouse
