    Hi, I planted this a couple of months ago, it started to bud and looked very happy but it hasn't flowered and now looking very sorry for itself? The ticket says it is deutzia hybida strawberry fields, liking full sun which it has, and I have been watering religiously in this hot spell... Any suggestions?

    Mines not looking too happy either Clue...but mines down to lack of water...i understand they can suffer in drought conditions but you've been watering yours so maybe it's just the heat:dunno:

    Didn't know whether it needed a trim or something loli? Should I just leave well alone and keep watering?

    I think it has suffered in the temperature change, the fact that it has been moved from where it was to your garden and a change of soil around its roots.
    Gentle weak liquid multi purpose fertiliser and a "buck up" chat as you administer the pick me up...:imphrt:
