Go big with this plant, you’ll be astounded at the spring bloom and fall color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlanted in groups, this variety makes a huge impression. Use at least 3 shrubs to amplify the charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also create a mass planting to cover wide open ground. Plant them 3 feet apart on center so they will grow together and touch. Measure from the center of one to the center of the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor large massed plantings, use a zig-zagging, staggered planting plan. Mulch between plants and be sure to keep new plantings weeded until you achieve full coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUse it on the sunny side of larger evergreen trees, or large purple-leaved shrubs like Royal Purple Smoke Bush or Purple Leaf Plum for a beautiful modern show in spring and fall.

Use mulch to keep the roots cool and the surface moisture consistent. Give supplemental water even after the roots are well established if you have an extended drought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese deciduous shrubs prefer acidic soils that are rich in organic material. Aim for a soil pH between 5.5 and 6.0. Fertilize with Dr. Earth Acid Lovers Acid Fertilizer twice a season, once in the spring and then again in the mid-summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen grown in Zones 9 and 10, Fothergilla must be protected from the late afternoon sun and the soil pH must be maintained lower than 6.0.

If needed, use fertilizers and mulch that promote acidity as a beneficial boost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAllow enough room so the plant can achieve its full height and spread.
