Used in the garden, the bloom season will vary depending on the locality in which they are grown. In the coastal area of California, this is normally from January to mid-May with the peak bloom period in early April. As you move north, the bloom is about one month later. Typically, PCN bloom is about three weeks ahead of the Tall Bearded. Although most varieties are evergreen, those that develop an unsightly appearance may be trimmed of most of the dead foliage in the early fall by cutting the leaves down to the appearance of new growth. In this way the plants will emerge in the spring with all new growth and the ability to flower is not affected. In some western areas where the I. douglasiana grow in a native condition and the fields are cut short for hay, the plants respond quickly with full new growth and flowering each spring. The occasional feeding with a liquid or a granular fertilizer developed for azaleas and camellias will show profound results. Any application with a granular medium should be thoroughly watered in following a spring or early fall application.
