The wing-spindle shrub delights with its red leaves in autumn
Are there different varieties of spindle strain?
The genus of spindle shrubs includes numerous species of shrubs, small trees, creeping and climbing plants. Some are evergreen, others throw off their leaves in the fall. The leaves have different shapes and are sometimes even multicolored.
If you like you can also grow a spindle shrub as a high trunk. However, you need a little patience for that. The diverse spindle shrub is relatively easy to care for and undemanding. It grows in virtually every garden, but likes to like a bright location. Partial shade is also suitable for the Pfaffenhütchen, the German name.
Unfortunately, all types of spindlestrap are poisonous. That's what you should think about if you plan to plant a spindle bush in your garden. If possible, children should not have free access to the tempting-looking fruits. The same is true for pets. Keep this in mind too, if the spindle shrub is at the property boundary.
Which varieties are suitable for a hedge?
If you want to plant a hedge, then choose a rather high-growing variety. Evergreen plants make your garden inviting even in winter. Give extra stability to your hedge if you have them tied to a fence. Cut the hedge regularly, preferably in spring and / or fall.
Can you plant the spindle shrub in a bucket?
The spindle shrub is also suitable for container planting. However, he will not be as tall as in the field. Place the spindle shrub in a bright place in the summer, then it will bloom abundantly and its leaf drawing will be wonderful. Be sure to give your spindle bush a good winter protection in the bucket or let it overwinter in a cold but bright greenhouse.
