Fothergilla gardenii 'Klmtwo' BEAVER CREEK
Dwarf Fothergilla (Fothergilla gardenii 'Klmtwo' BEAVER CREEK) is an amazing shrub that adds texture and color to your landscape. This low maintenance evergreen shrub is tolerant of sun or shade and can be grown in almost any soil type. It features an upright spreading habit and reaches a mature height between 2 and 4 feet tall and wide. The foliage starts out as yellow-green in the spring, turning to a deeper green in summer, then spectacular shades of fiery red, orange and purple in the fall. White, bottle-brush shaped flowers appear in late spring, adding additional beauty. Although Dwarf Fothergilla is a slow-grower, it is hardy, and will thrive with very little attention in almost any setting!

watering
The Dwarf Fothergilla is a drought-tolerant shrub and therefore should not require a lot of water. For optimal health, however, it should be watered once every 7-10 days during the summer, and once every 2-3 weeks during the winter. When you water, make sure to water deeply, providing your Dwarf Fothergilla with 1/2 to 1 inch of water per week. It is best to mulch around the shrub to help retain moisture and to protect roots. Make sure to check soil moisture regularly and water as needed, especially during extended periods of dry weather.
sunlight
Dwarf Fothergilla (Fothergilla gardenii 'Klmtwo' BEAVER CREEK) thrive in partial sun to full sun – roughly 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight each day. While they can tolerate some shade, too much shade may cause them to flower less profusely and cause a loss of vigor. They should be placed in an area that receives at least some direct sunlight in warmer climates. In cooler climates, they can be placed in more shaded areas.
pruning
Dwarf Fothergilla (Fothergilla gardenii 'Klmtwo' BEAVER CREEK) benefits from annual pruning. This helps maintain its shape and encourages new growth. Pruning should be done in the late winter to early spring months (February - March) when the shrub is dormant. Start by removing 1-third of the oldest stems at ground level. This helps encourage new growth and prevents the shrub from becoming too dense. Try to maintain an even, rounded shape. Pruning can also be done to selectively shape and reduce the size of the shrub. When pruning, always make sure to use sharp pruning shears and make clean cuts.
