🌿 Care Guide
Watering
Regular deep watering at the root level, avoiding overhead irrigation to prevent disease.
Fertilizer
Use an all-purpose, balanced fertilizer (N-P-K) consistently before and throughout the blooming cycle.
Pruning
Prune in late winter or early spring when buds begin to swell (often timed with forsythia blooms). Remove dead, damaged, or diseased wood, and thin out weak or crossing stems to maintain an open, vase-shaped habit.

Susceptible to aphids, black spot, and powdery mildew.
