Your garden will be ablaze with color from fall to spring with Burning Love Leucothoe. This hardy evergreen delights as an accent, in containers or mass plantings, with a compact habit, striking red stems, and elongated dark red/purple leaves.
This is a busy time in the garden. Much of our woody plant care takes place as winter wanes, from pruning to fertilizing. Most trees and shrubs are fertilized in early spring. Feed the following plants to encourage strong growth and bountiful blooms.
For many plants, fertilizing this time of year can have negative impacts. For example, late-summer fertilizer applications to trees and shrubs encourage new growth that may not harden-off prior to a freeze. Of course, there are always exceptions. The following plants benefit from late-summer feeding.
