CARE: Minimal pruning is needed, but if necessary light trimming can be done after the first flush of blooms. If damaged branches need to be removed, they can be trimmed in spring when it’s easier to tell where new growth is occurring. Fertilize in the early spring and in the late spring with Holly-tone or a similar fertilizer. Do not fertilize any later than late July or it can cause new growth while the plant should be going dormant.
