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 sowing scarified or pre-soaked seed in spring, or by semi-ripe cuttings in summer

Growing

Outdoors, grow in freely-draining, moderately fertile, acid to neutral soil in full sun. Under glass, grow in ericaceous potting compost with added extra grit, in full light. When in growth water freely and apply a low-phosphate liquid fertiliser monthly; water sparingly at other times. Top dress or pot on in spring
