watering
Pearlbush should be watered frequently, but shallowly, about once a week during the growing season. Make sure the soil is damp, but not wet. During dry periods, increase the frequency of watering, but reduce the amount of water given at each watering. During the winter months, reduce the amount of water to every couple of weeks. Established plants are more tolerant of drought than young plants, so be careful to not give too much water during cold weather.
sunlight
Pearlbush (Exochorda serratifolia 'Northern Pearls') plants perform best in full sun or partial shade, preferably exposure to morning sun and afternoon shade. This species should receive 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day during the growing season of spring and summer. In the cooler months of fall and winter, 3-4 hours of direct sunlight is sufficient.
pruning
Pearlbush can be pruned in late winter or early spring, before leaves begin to grow. Carefully remove dead, damaged or uncoloured stems. Cut back 1-third of the oldest stems to ground level. In warmer regions, pruning may be done in late autumn after the growing season. Pruning should be done lightly to maintain the natural shape of the plant. Remove any suckers arising from the root zone. Remember that while pruning can help keep this shrub looking attractive, it should not be done excessively, as this can damage the plant.
