Please note: Our Ships Now shrubs are still waking up from dormancy! In the spring, shrubs begin to emerge from dormancy with swelling buds and potentially new growth as temperatures rise and daylight hours increase. Most dormant shrubs start leafing out in April, depending on the specific plant and local weather conditions.

Care:  Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and mid-summer. Prefers moist, acidic soil. Pruning is rarely needed. You can cut dead wood out in or prune to shape in the late spring.
