#ProPlantTips for Care:
Tiny Kurls needs full sun to grow best and a planting site with well-drained soil. However these plants are not particular about soil type, new plants do need regular water access. Once established, provide regular water throughout the drought and during the winter months if it is dry or these shrubs are exposed to drying icy northern winds. All plants appreciate Nature Hills Root Booster and a 3-4 inch layer of arborist bark chips to support their growth.
- Full Sun
- Any Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate Yet Regular Moisture Access
- Rarely Needs Pruning - But Candle Prune in Spring If Desired
- Deer & Rabbit Resistant
