How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water only occasionally; during summer water can be done more often.
Pruning
Very little pruning is required – simply trim to shape after flowering, taking care not to remove all spent blooms as these turn into beautiful red berries. If you prune in spring, you might be cutting off last year's growth. This means no blooming until next year! Best is to prune after the blooming, in early or mid-summer.
Fertilizer
Mulch in spring with a thick layer of well-rotted manure or leaf mould.
