Care & Maintenance
Keep the soil consistently moist during the first growing season and water more often during hot or dry weather. Avoid waterlogged conditions. Add compost or other organic matter before planting, and fertilize lightly in spring only if growth is slow.
Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature, keeping it slightly away from the stems. Established plants tolerate moderate drought but flower best with regular moisture.
Because ‘Silver Dollar’ blooms on new wood, prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Pruning helps maintain a neat shape and may encourage larger, fuller flower clusters.

Seasonal Dormancy Notice
Our nursery is located in the mountains of western Virginia, where cool autumn temperatures arrive early. Depending on the variety and shipping date, your shrub may be entering natural winter dormancy.
Plants may arrive with yellowing or browning leaves, leaf drop, or partially or completely bare stems. This is normal seasonal behavior and does not indicate poor health. Fresh growth should emerge when temperatures warm in spring.
