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 seed in containers in a cold frame in autumn

Growing

Grow in moist but well-drained acid soil in sun or part shade with shelter from cold winds. Suited to mild counties with frost free conditions only or city centre locations with a microclimate
