Unknown shrub in new backyard - started wilting -help please

Hi All,

I was wondering if someone could help me regarding the pictures below. I live in the Chicago, IL area and moved into this house last august. These bushes (I don't know what they are) just recently have started drooping - can someone tell me what these are - if there is something I should do trimming wise to fix this problems?

Well, in the pictures above you seem to have lots of water. Is that from the sprinklers are did it just rain? You may be over watering.

I would recommend feeding it once a week with liquid seaweed fertilzer diluted as per the instructions on the bottle.


And only water say once a week (check the soil first to see if it needs watering) for a couple of hours at night. Nice deep watering is far better than shallow watering several times a week.
