Fragrant Valley Sarcococca Shrub

Fragrant Valley Sarcococca, a delightful shrub that brings vibrant greenery and sweetly fragrant flowers to your garden.

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location that receives partial to full shade, as this will help the shrub thrive. Ensure the soil is well-draining and enriched with organic matter. Dig a hole that’s twice as wide as the root ball but not deeper than the root ball itself. Carefully place the shrub in the hole, backfill with soil, and water well to eliminate air pockets.

2. Watering: Water your shrub regularly, especially during dry spells. Aim to keep the soil consistently moist but never soggy. An established plant will require less frequent watering, but always check for soil moisture to avoid drought stress.

3. Pruning: Prune after blooming to maintain shape and encourage bushy growth. You can remove any dead or damaged branches as necessary. Light pruning will help keep the shrub tidy without compromising its natural form.

4. Fertilizing: Fertilize in spring using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer designed for shrubs. Following the manufacturer's instructions will promote healthy growth and flowering, but avoid over-fertilization, as this can damage the root system.
