Growing & Maintenance Tips for Kolkwitzia amabilis Jolene Jolene®
- Prefers well-drained soils but is fairly adaptable to other soil types.
- If necessary, prune immediately after the spring bloom.
- It blooms on old wood and has a naturally arching habit that looks best unpruned.
- Best flowering occurs in full sun, but light shade isn't harmful, particularly in warmer climates.
- If desired, fertilize in early spring with a granular fertilizer formulated for woody plants, like a rose fertilizer.
