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
Broadleaf evergreens with such bright color are perfect for injecting the illusion of sunlight into shaded places. This rugged plant also makes a bright hedge next to green lawn or between driveways. Take advantage of the color by contrasting with green and bronze; shy away from yellow flowers.
