Watering

Fertilizing

Balanced perennial feed every four weeks spring through summer growth

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 sown in containers outdoors as soon as ripe, or by semi-ripe cuttings in summer

Growing

Grow in humus-rich, moist but well-drained, acid or neutral soil in full sun or light shade, with shelter from cold wind
