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 seed when ripe or root cuttings and suckers. Variegated cultivars must be grafted

Growing

Grow in moderately fertile, well-drained soil in partial shade. Shelter from strong winds that may damage the leaves
