Care and garden use

Monitor for blight and leaf spots. Poor drainage can lead to root rot. Watch for leaf miners, psyllids, and mites. New growth is susceptible to winter damage.

Use as an accent or in grouped plantings, borders, woodland gardens, foundation plantings, hedges, or suitably sized containers. Pair with azalea, spirea, or St. John's wort where growing conditions suit each plant.
