Moist, well-drained acidic to neutral soil; tolerates clay and poor drainage better than most trees
Regular watering during growing season, keep moist but not waterlogged. Reduce significantly after leaf drop in autumn.
Prefers full sun for best flowering but tolerates partial shade; requires cold winter period for dormancy
Apply slow-release fertilizer in early spring before blooming. Avoid high nitrogen which encourages foliage over flowers.
Prune immediately after flowering to remove dead wood and shape; avoid late pruning as buds form on old wood.
