Mixing organic materials like compost into the existing soil improves water permeability and nutrient availability. Plants grown in pots can be planted year-round, except during frost periods.

For detailed planting instructions, follow the guidelines carefully.

Pruning a Prunus 'Royal Burgundy'

Prunus 'Royal Burgundy' benefits from regular pruning to maintain its shape and health. Pruning is best done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. This helps to remove any crossing, dead, or protruding branches, which can improve air circulation and sunlight penetration. Cutting back spent flowers during the blooming period can encourage new blooms. Use clean, sharp tools like secateurs or pruning shears to make precise cuts and prevent disease. Regular pruning not only enhances the plant's appearance but also supports its overall vitality.

Watering a Prunus 'Royal Burgundy'

The Prunus 'Royal Burgundy' requires careful watering to thrive. It prefers a generous amount of water when needed, rather than frequent small amounts. This helps the roots absorb moisture more effectively. The best time to water is early morning or late afternoon to minimise evaporation. During dry, sunny periods, check the soil regularly to ensure it is not too dry. Rainwater can be used as an eco-friendly option. Ensure excess water can drain away to prevent root rot, whether planted in the ground or in a pot. Once established, this plant can tolerate some drought, but young plants need regular watering to establish a strong root system.

Regular feeding enhances the plant's vitality, ensuring its dark purple leaves and pink blossoms remain striking. Using organic fertilisers is recommended, as they prevent root and leaf burn that can occur with synthetic options. Consider Heijnen's Organic Starter Fertilizer in spring and Organic Maintenance Fertilizer in summer. Apply fertiliser twice a year, adjusting the amount based on the plant's size. Nutrients are absorbed when dissolved in water, so during dry spells, water the garden to help release them into the soil.
