Our deciduous shrubs are entering their natural dormancy phase. As part of this process, foliage is turning colors, drying out, and falling off—this is completely normal! Shedding leaves helps the plants conserve energy and prepare for the next growing season. Rest assured, your shrubs will wake up and thrive again when it's time in your growing zone. Dormancy is how they prepare for a healthy, vibrant comeback as the seasons change!
Care: Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and mid-summer. Will get its brightest foliage color when planted in full sun. It benefits from rejuvenation pruning. After it has been planted in the landscape for 4-6 years you can start removing the oldest stems each year in the springtime. Please note: Though Splendid! Blue blueberry is an ornamental variety, it will set some fruit on its own. For larger, more abundant fruit, plant with another highbush blueberry.
