Can be trained as an espalier to soften retaining and privacy walls. |

Companion Plants | With the cold hardiness zone dipping down to a Zone 6 for this plant, pair with other colder weather, woodland plants like Blue Holly, Fumewort, Rodgersia, Lenton Rose, Lily of the Valley, Snowberry and Beautyberry. Provide filtered sun with smaller canopy trees such as Cherry, Dogwood, Japanese Maple and Magnolia. |
Care | Provide organically rich, well-drained, acidic soil. Keep roots cool with a thick layer of mulch. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency, once established. Prune lightly to shape and feed with an acid fertilizer after flowering. |
