Watering

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. Hard pruning is tolerated if needed.

Propagation

Propagate by softwood cuttings in late spring, or semi-ripe cuttings in summer

Growing

Grow in moderately fertile, acid to neutral, well-drained soil in full sun. Hot summers are needed for best flowering
