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. Regular pruning is not necessary. If any shaping is desired, do so just after the plant has flowered in the spring.
