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, take root cuttings or remove rooted suckers

Growing

Grow in fertile well-drained soil in full sun, grows best in areas with very hot summers. In frost prone climates, provide shelter from cold drying winds in winter
