Tall Fothergilla 'Red Licorice' 3 Gallon

Fothergilla major

Tall Fothergilla is an adaptable, easy care shrub that develops profuse fuzzy, white, honey scented, bottlebrush flowers during emergence of the leathery, green gray foliage. 'Red Licorice' changes to brilliant red in fall. 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.
