Watering

Moderate regular watering, allowing brief slight drying between soakings

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 greenwood cuttings in early summer

Growing

Suitable for the mildest counties only, especially those that are frost-free. Grow in a sheltered part shady position in fertile, moist but well-drained acid soil. In cold areas can be grown in a container using potting compost and overwintered in a conservatory or frost-free greenhouse
