Watering

Evenly moist well-drained soil, avoid fully drying root ball mass

Fertilizing

Balanced shrub feed every five weeks spring through mid-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 or semi-ripe cuttings

Growing

Under glass grow in loam-based potting compost with added extra grit. Position in full light and water freely in the growing season, moderately at other times. Outdoors grow in freely-draining soil in full sun, or against a south-facing wall
