Care
Fertilize in Spring and midsummer / Prune late winter or early spring
Maintenance
Prune back heavily in late winter to encourage larger blooms on new wood and maintain desired shape.
Cleanup
Remove dead wood in early spring before new growth begins. No deadheading required as it is a seedless variety.
Notes
Azurri Blue Satin is a seedless (sterile) cultivar, meaning it will not produce the nuisance seedlings commonly associated with older Rose of Sharon varieties.
