It is resistant to frost and heat and does not require special care.Suitable for growing in small gardens.
In our gardens, many short, bushy varieties with a compact habit are grown. A botanical species can only be found in a botanical garden.Bushes reach a height of 30 to 60 cm and are usually twice as wide.
Depending on the variety, the leaves can be light or dark green in the season, and in autumn they can be dressed in shades of brown or red. The most popular varieties are: 'Goldmund', 'Goldflame', 'Little Princess' and 'Shiro-bana'.In June and July, innumerable pink or white flowers appear on the bushes.They are very often planted by bees.
Tawuła feels good in sunny to semi-shaded positions.Once rooted, it can grow in any type of substrate.
The most favorable date for planting bushes is in the fall and, provided the ground is not frozen, in the spring. Tawuły can be easily multiplied at home - for this purpose, in the summer we collect semi-woody shoots, which we root in a sheltered position.Remember that the bushes also reproduce spontaneously from seeds.
Bushes should be strongly pruned every spring. Thus, they will quickly knock out new shoots, and flowering will be abundant. The older shoots are cut to the ground, the younger ones are 20-30 cm high.
Shrubs are suitable for low fringed hedges.They can be grown in rockeries as well as in pots.
Some varieties will repeat flowering if dry inflorescences are removed immediately after blooming.
