Dwarf Fothergilla Legend of the Small® 3 Gallon

Fothergilla x intermedia

Legend of the Small® is an adaptable, easy care shrub that develops abundant fuzzy, white, honey scented, bottlebrush flowers in April to May, later covered in leathery, blue-green foliage that changes to rich autumn colors of yellow, orange and red. Combine with Hydrangeas, Rhododendrons and spikey ornamental grasses in a mixed border or as a low hedge. Plant in well-drained to moist, amended, acidic soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1 inch of water once a week the first year. Prune after flowering to control size. Remove dead branches at any time. Feed at least twice during the growing season with a slow release fertilizer in early spring and again mid-summer. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2 inches to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature. A Proven Winners® variety.
