Watering

Moderate deep watering during dry periods, free drainage preferred

Fertilizing

Balanced shrub feed once in spring

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 from seed (tree/shrub) or semi-hardwood cuttings

Growing

Grow in moderately fertile well-drained soil in full sun or part shade; protect from cold dry winds in colder or northern areas. Tolerant of dry conditions, once established
