#ProPlantTips for Care

Plant Burkwood in a spot that receives at least four hours of sunlight a day. Well-drained soil is best, but it will adapt to many soil types that shed water quickly after a rain event.

Carefully water new shrubs during its first season. After it is established in your soil, you'll want to protect your investment with a medium amount of water on a regular basis.

Where these broad-leaved evergreens retain their leaves all year, give a long drink of water in fall. Good hydration helps protect the evergreen leaves through wintertime.

Prune lightly to shape right after flowering is finished. Don't wait too long, as this shrub blooms on last year's wood.

Get out your measuring tape and plan for the mature height and spread of this shrub. You truly don't want to miss a single bloom.

So now we've let you in on one of those plants designers love to use. They thrill their clients with color, fragrance and durability.
