Feed monthly in the spring and summer with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer; use a bloom-boosting fertilizer high in phosphorus for maximum flowering; stop feeding in late summer.

Prune in early spring before the plant breaks dormancy or when new growth begins; remove dead or damaged wood and prune to encourage desired shape.
