How to Care for the Plant
Pruning
Late summer is the best time to prune many midsummer-flowering shrubs to keep them vigorous and flowering well. It is also the ideal time to prune several trees that are prone to bleeding if pruned at other times, and it’s not too late to complete the pruning jobs for July if you haven’t got round to them yet.
Fertilizer
The wood is a good fuel
Soil
Heavy (clay) soils, prefers well-​drained soil and can grow in nutritionally poor soil. Suitable pH: acid, neutral
