You could also trim it, after it has bloomed. Thanks for sharing....VintageGardenGal Jan, it is best to trim your razzleberry shrub before its spring bloom.

It is being infested with aphids and I have sprayed with white oil several times. I have recently resorted to a prune and would like to strengthen the health of the shrub to assist it to cope with further aphid attacks. Can you advise me how to fertilize this shrub.

My Jack Russell ate some of the plant and she developed hives and swelling of her face and eyes and had trouble breathing shortly after eating some of the plant. Any help would be wonderful.
