Watering

Even soil moisture all growing time, avoid soggy root base

Fertilizing

Balanced shrub liquid feed monthly 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 softwood cuttings in early summer and hardwood cuttings in winter

Growing

Grow in moist but well-drained soil in partial shade or in sun if the soil remains reliably moist. See shrubby hydrangea cultivation for more detailed advice
