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
