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: late winter or early spring.
Design Ideas
This shrub, a lower-growing version of the species, works well as an informal low hedge or screen, and is also a fine border companion. Try planting it at the corner of the drive, or where there is asmall grouping of shrubs.
