If you are looking for proven and ecological solutions to pests, diseases and plant slurry - we suggest where to find them:Bush - developmental features
The shrub grows densely and quickly, reaching a height of 2 to 4 meters. The characteristic feature of older shrubs are overhanging shoots.Depending on the variety, the leaves can be either green or colored.
Stand for the bush
The shrub feels good in fertile, well-drained soil and grows successfully in sunny to semi-shaded locations (however, the more sun, the more flowers).Some varieties are also suitable for growing in the shade, but the flowering of such shrubs leaves much to be desired.
Bush propagation
Shrubs are propagated by woody or semi-woody cuttings collected at the end of summer or late autumn.
Bush - care
The bush is easy to care for. It is powered once a year. We carry out x-rays every few years. From time to time, it is a good idea to cut old shoots close to the ground.You can shorten them without worrying about the next year's flowering, because the shrub sets flower buds only on annuals.The bushes are best planted in the fall.
Bush - application
The bush looks best as a solitaire. If plants are to be combined in groups, it is best to plant them in natural hedges. The bush attracts insects.
Tip
In freely growing hedges, the shrub should be combined with, for example, jasmine or lilac trees.
