Maintenance:

To ensure the health and vigor of your Kolkwitzia amabilis, follow these maintenance tips:

1. Light Requirements: Plant your Kolkwitzia amabilis in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. It prefers at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal flowering.

2. Soil Conditions: Beautybush thrives in well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. Amend heavy clay soils with compost to improve drainage and provide essential nutrients.

3. Watering: Provide regular watering, especially during dry spells. Keep the soil evenly moist but avoid waterlogging. Mulching around the base of the shrub helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.

4. Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms. Follow the package instructions for proper dosage and application.

5. Pruning: Prune your Kolkwitzia amabilis immediately after flowering to shape the shrub and remove any dead or damaged branches. Avoid extensive pruning, as it may reduce flowering for the following season.
