Care Information
Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. For a tidy, neat appearance, shear annually to shape. Pruning time: spring after flowering.
Design Ideas
This is an ideal, no-fail plant for formal hedges. Takes the worst weather and soils. Neat tidy habit makes for a great partition between shrub and flower beds of varying themes. Use as a living fence to divide and surround without competing with perennials and flowering trees.
