Fertilizing

Low phosphorus shrub fertilizer once yearly early spring time

Pruning

For free-standing plants: Usually little pruning is needed. Lightly shape if necessary, removing dead, damaged or diseased shoots. Prune after flowering. For wall-trained specimens: On established wall-trained shrubs, shorten sideshoots to two to four buds from the framework; remove shoots growing towards the wall. Prune annually after flowering on last-year growth, or in late winter or early spring on current-year growth.

Propagation

Propagate by semi-ripe cuttings in mid to late summer

Growing

Grow in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun with shelter from strong, cold winds. Lime tolerant but may become chlorotic on shallow chalk soils. See ceanothus cultivation
