- Planting: Tolerates most conditions but prefers well-drained, loamy soil. If your soil is heavy or sandy, mix in perlite or horticultural grit to improve drainage. Bare root plants can be stored for several weeks in a cool, dark spot in winter; in spring, plant within a few days of arrival.
- Pruning: Prune in late winter-early spring (February/March). For the brightest stems, do not prune in the first year. After that, cut back hard to a woody base within 4" of the ground each year before new buds appear. Feed and water well afterwards. Regenerate old plants by cutting out the old wood from the centre.
- Pest & Disease: Generally pest free, but can occasionally suffer from cornus anthracnose.
