1. Look at the label that comes with the plant or search for your plant on our website. Here you can see what light exposure the plant needs. This determines whether you should look for a sunny, semi-shady or shady spot for your plant.

2. Make sure the plant's root ball is moist before you plant it (e.g. immerse it in a bucket of water).

3. Dig a hole the same depth as the pot, but about 2-3 times as wide.

4. Mix the soil that came out of the hole with some mixed garden soil (you can buy this at a garden centre).

5. Scoop the soil at the bottom of the hole a few times to make it nice and airy.

6. Carefully remove the pot from the plant.

7. Loosen the root system. You do this by running your fingers between the roots to loosen them. This is very important and ensures that the plant takes root properly.

8. Place the plant in the centre of the hole with the top of the root ball just above the surface.

9. Fill the hole with the mixed garden soil and press the soil around the plant firmly with your hands.

10. Water the plant.

11. Apply a 5-7 cm layer of mulch (soil litter), but keep the branches or trunk clear.

Watering needs

This plant has an average water requirement. Once the plant is well established in the soil, it can tolerate drier periods.

Note!

Plants in pots always need regular watering. If the pot is in a warm or sunny spot, the plant requires extra water.
Over-watering or prolonged extremely wet soil can cause root rot and thus affect the health of the plant.

Pruning information

Pruning helps to keep the plant in shape, promote rejuvenation and stimulate growth. Regular pruning ensures richer blooms and a better-branched shrub. The best period to prune this plant is in early spring. Prune the plant to ±2/3 van de hoogte of meer indien gewenst.

Fertilisation

Fertilisation is not necessary, but would you still like to give the plant some extra nutrition? Then distribute general shrub fertiliser around the base of the plant in late winter or early spring.

Winter hardiness / frost resistance

This deciduous Proven Winners^® plant is hardy. The plant loses its leaves and goes into hibernation and therefore needs little care in winter. The degree of winter hardiness does depend on the conditions in which the plant grows and the period. In spring frosts, this plant is vulnerable because it may have sprouted by then.

Note!

Is the plant in a pot? Then it is more susceptible to frost: put the plant in a sheltered spot and in case of frost you can protect it by covering it, for instance with old branches and/or leaves or with a protective cloth.
Other factors such as soil type, drainage, snow cover, exposure to wind, winter, precipitation (or lack thereof) and temperature fluctuations also affect a plant's winter hardiness.

Inspiration, Winter, Gardening tips

The best time to make a garden plan

In February, the garden slowly awakens from its winter sleep. Carefully, the first buds appear on trees and shrubs. Meanwhile, it can still be quite cold, so you'd rather be indoors than outside. And that's fine, because there is not much to do in the garden yet. An ideal time to start planning for the new garden season next to the warm stove!

For most shrubs, autumn is a good time to plant them. It gives your plant a chance to take root and start growing ‘in line with the seasons’. Early spring is a good alternative.

If you plant it in summer, be aware that the plant is not yet well rooted and therefore needs regular watering, especially during hot & dry periods.
