A stunning miniature selection of the Knock Out family, with the same low maintenance, superior disease resistance, and incredibly long period of bloom, bright red flowers are seemingly endless; all roses need full sun and well-drained soil. Ornamental Features Petite Knock Out Rose features showy clusters of cherry red flowers at the ends of the branches from mid-spring to mid-fall. The flowers are excellent for cutting. It has attractive dark green deciduous foliage. The small glossy oval compound leaves are highly ornamental but do not develop any appreciable fall color. Landscape Attributes Petite Knock Out® Rose is a multi-stemmed deciduous shrub with a more or less rounded form. Its average texture blends into the landscape but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition.
The Petite Knock Out Rose is a very popular shrub that can grow up to 18 inches tall and 18 inches wide. It has a fast growth rate, so it will fill out right to the ground. This shrub does best in full sunlight but will tolerate average to evenly moist conditions. It is not particular as to soil type or pH, and is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution.

After planting, it’s essential to monitor the arborvitae’s water needs well into winter. Even in December and January, if the winter is mild with little snowfall, occasional watering may be necessary. Many homeowners stop watering in the fall when temperatures drop, leading to winter dehydration. Since arborvitae cannot access frozen water in the soil, it’s crucial to provide ample moisture before the ground freezes.
Tip: Green Giant Arborvitae are slow to show signs of water stress, often displaying damage long after dehydration occurs. Regularly check soil moisture to prevent issues.
Growth rate depends on various factors such as water, sunlight, soil type, fertilizer, and climate conditions. Green Giant Arborvitae are categorized as fast-growing privacy trees, typically growing 2-3 feet per year under optimal conditions. Unlike slower-growing arborvitae varieties, they quickly establish themselves and develop a dense, towering screen.
Tip: After planting, most evergreens take about two years to establish strong root systems. Significant top growth usually occurs in the third year.
Pruning is generally not required due to their natural growth habit. However, if needed, the tops can be pruned to shape, and the sides can be lightly trimmed with hedge shears or pruners to control width.
Platt Hill Nursery recommends pruning in late winter before new growth emerges or after new growth has developed in late spring. DO NOT PRUNE IN FALL, as this can leave the tree vulnerable to winter damage. Dead or broken branches, however, can be removed at any time.
