tassel bush
Garrya issaquahensis
The tassel bush (Garrya issaquahensis) is an amazing evergreen shrub found in the northwest region of the United States. It is easy to grow and is an evergreen that will provide year-long color to any landscape. Its amazing feature is that it produces gorgeous dangling catkin-like flowers, faded to pinkish-white from mid-winter through early spring. The foliage is olive green, with an occasional bronze tint, and adds to the overall beauty of this plant. As the blooms wither, they give way to tiny two-winged capsules that release wind-borne seeds. The tassel bush is fast growing, tolerant of various soils and climates, and low maintenance. This will make an excellent selection for any garden setting.

watering
Tassel bush (Garrya issaquahensis) should be watered once a week during the summer months and every 2 weeks during the winter months. The amount of water needed for each watering will vary depending on a number of factors, such as soil type, temperatures, and humidity. Generally, a tassel bush should be watered until the soil feels evenly moist but not soggy. Be sure to avoid overwatering, as this could lead to root rot. Watering in the morning helps to decrease the risk of fungal diseases.
sunlight
Tassel bush (Garrya issaquahensis) is an evergreen bush that usually grows best in full sun or partial shade. It requires at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal growth. To assure sufficient sunlight, plant the tassel bush in a site that receives afternoon sun and some morning sun in spring and summer months. In regions with cooler climates, further protection may be desired by planting them in locations with some protection from the wind. Part shade in these climates may also be beneficial by avoiding too much heat during the hottest parts of the day. Tassel bushes typically bloom in late winter and can tolerate some light shade during this season.
pruning
Tassel bush (Garrya issaquahensis) should be pruned in the late winter or early spring, just before new growth appears. Prune to shape the plant and to remove dead, diseased, or unwanted branches. It is best to prune the tassel bush when it is small so that the pruning process is less damaging to the plant. When pruning the tassel bush, remove no more than 1-third of the total plant growth at once. Pruning more than that can result in inadequate regrowth and can cause considerable damage to the plant.
