While it prefers acidic to neutral soil, it will tolerate more alkaline conditions, though very chalky areas may cause chlorosis. Before planting, incorporate organic matter such as well-rotted manure or compost into the soil. Water regularly throughout the growing season until young plants are fully established. In spring, mulch with well-rotted manure or compost at the base of the plant.After flowering, cut back the flowered shoots to a healthy pair of buds, unless you want to enjoy the seed heads for late-season interest. Physocarpus Opulifolius tolerates fairly hard pruning and can be cut back by half every few years to maintain a smaller size. On mature plants, cut back about one quarter to one fifth of the oldest shoots to their base to encourage strong new growth.Ideal for cottage gardens or as a specimen plant. This hardy shrub thrives in a sunny or semi-shaded position, reaching a height and spread of up to 150cm.
