Watering

Fertilizing

Balanced perennial feed every four weeks spring through summer growth

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 sown in containers outdoors in autumn, or take greenwood cuttings in summer

Growing

Grow in fertile, moist but well-drained soil in full sun or light shade. Shelter from cold, drying winds
