Dwarf Fothergilla (Fothergilla gardenii 'Blue Mist') - Description

'Blue Mist' is a blue-foliaged variety that doesn't color up as well in the fall.

Dwarf Fothergilla (Fothergilla gardenii 'Blue Mist') - Blooming

Plants grown in full sun will produce more flowers and richer fall color.

Dwarf Fothergilla (Fothergilla gardenii 'Blue Mist') - Growth

Fothergilla does best in partial shade to full sun. Full sun will give you a richer autumn display, but in hot climates, some shade is needed.

Dwarf Fothergilla (Fothergilla gardenii 'Blue Mist') - Planting

Propagation is difficult. Seeds need double-dormancy treatment. Cuttings require bottom heat (sucker or root cuttings) and mist softwood cuttings in summer. If transplanting, do so while leaves are still on the shrub. Dig a hole as deep as the rootball and four times as wide. Mulch until established.

Dwarf Fothergilla (Fothergilla gardenii 'Blue Mist') - Pest

Uncommon.

Dwarf Fothergilla (Fothergilla gardenii 'Blue Mist') - Soil and irrigation

Grow in rich, moisture-retentive, acidic soil that is well-draining. In hot climates, the soil should remain moist. Water and keep mulched during the growing season.
