Care & maintenance

Easily maintained, 'Red Wings' benefits from a light shearing after flowering to encourage denser growth and a tidier appearance. Minimal fertilization is required; an annual application of a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring is sufficient. Division can be done every few years to rejuvenate plants or for propagation.
