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 by grafting or from semi-hardwood cuttings

Growing

Grow in fertile, humus-rich well-drained soil in sun or partial shade. For more advice, see flowering dogwood cultivation
