Low Growing Flowering Shrubs

If you are looking for a fertilizing routine tailored to your specific conditions, a soil sample should be taken and the fertilizer and trace elements matched to the needs of your soil.

Pruning has been described as a “combination of art and science.” I personally find pruning to be one of the most relaxing yet rewarding chores in the garden. Always, read the label on your fertilizer bag, and follow the instructions.

In the South, a late summer into September application would be about right. Plants that are deficient in Nitrogen are usually not growing vigorously, and sometimes exhibit pale colored foliage.

Tolerates a wide range of soils, but prefers nutrient rich, moist, humusy ones. Always, read the label on your fertilizer bag, and follow the instructions. Harbour Dwarf Nandina is easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun...

We suggest when planting your newly purchased Blush Pink Nandina plants that you dig a hole twice as wide as the root system but not deeper. Try to cure the problem before adding fertilizer.

A very large shrub nandina in the ground will take 2 – 3 cups spread around the drip line of the branches (not next to the trunk). Nandina Lemon Lime is a broad leaved evergreen with ornamental foliage.

Since an organic method of applying manure and/or compost around the roots, produces excellent results and also improves the condition of the soil, this would be an excellent first line of attack.

If a liquid fertilizer is used for Callicarpa Early Amethyst, it should be applied every month for both plants in pots and in the ground. Although the three elements just mentioned are the major elements necessary for good plant performance, there some...

That is why we do not recommend planting in a hole any deeper than the soil line of the plant in the pot. Many times, a plant may outgrow its intended size in the landscape, and must be pruned to re-define its purpose.

It is also important to understand the specific growing characteristic of a certain shrubs when pruning that particular plant. It is much, much better to err on the side of too little fertilizer than too much.

For example a one gallon pot would be watered until you count to 5 a three gallon pot would be 15 and so on. Since an organic method of applying manure and/or compost around the roots, produces excellent results and also improves the condition of the...

Most of the water you put on the plant at first will run away from the plant until the soil is soaked. For example a one gallon pot would be watered until you count to 5 a three gallon pot would be 15 and so on.

This is a very loose estimate, so please read the directions on the fertilizer before applying it. Although it is tempting to spend less time by not raking the mulch back during fertilization, the results will be less than desirable, if the fertilizer...

It is a naturally occuring beneficial fungus that colonizes on the new growing roots of plants. A very large shrub in the ground will take 2 – 3 cups spread around the drip line of the branches (not next to the trunk).

Either chemical fertilizers or organic matter can be used successfully. Always, read the label on your fertilizer bag, and follow the instructions. Any type of mulch will do but cypress or hardwood mulch will be of a higher quality and provide better...

If chemical fertilizers are used on your Tri-colored dappled willow, applying a slow-release, balanced fertilizer once a year in the spring is probably the simplest solution. Fall is the time for shrubs to begin preparing for dormancy.

As with chemical fertilizers, do not apply it right next to the trunk or stems emerging from the ground. For a totally organic approach, many gardeners use commercial manure on the soil around shrubs such as Skimmia japonica.

After back filling and lightly compacting the 50/50 mix of existing soil and compost give the Rhus Tiger Eyes a good deep watering. This plant looks spectacular when partnered with crape myrtle ebony and ivory, purple leaved loropetalum, or crimson pygmy...

Compact and easy to grow, requiring little pruning or care. Mulching helps to keep weeds away which will compete with your new investment for water and nutrients. It is generally recommended to not use power equipment such as gas hedgers to prune Physocarpus...

Depending on the quality of your existing soil you may need to add a locally sourced compost or topsoil to the back-fill soil. You can then rake the mulch back around the base of the Golden Spirit Smoke Tree.

A good rule is that you should still be able to see the soil the plant was grown in after back-filling the hole. It is much, much better to err on the side of too little fertilizer than too much.

For example a one gallon pot would be watered until you count to 5 a three gallon pot would be 15 and so on. A deficiency of Phosphorus may affect the energy transfer in the plant, and result in stunted growth as well.

Water using the counting method for the first few weeks. It is generally recommended to not use power equipment such as gas hedgers to prune hydrangeas as this does more harm than good.

We highly recommend that you mulch your Wedding Gown Hydrangea with either a ground hardwood mulch or a ground cypress mulch depending on your local availability. Wedding Gown Hydrangea is hardy, stays compact, and prefers light shade.

Sometimes, the growth is taller and longer with less than desirable branching when Nitrogen is deficient. Many times, a plant may outgrow its intended size in the landscape, and must be pruned to re-define its purpose.

Adding compost or topsoil will help the young feeder roots to spread through the loose, nutrient rich soil, much easier than if you used solely the existing soil which more times than not will be hard and compacted.
