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.

Plant one in the border or many as an informal hedge or low screen, this shrub will add much to your garden, including delightful lacecap flower clusters and red berries for the birds. Good fall color and new growth tinged red are bonuses.
