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. Regular pruning isn’t needed. Shape as desired in early spring as new growth is emerging. Flower coverage, fragrance, and brilliance of fall color are at their best with at least four hours of direct exposure to the sun.
