✂️ Care

Plant in full sun or partial shade in rich, well-drained, neutral to slightly acidic soil. Water regularly at planting to encourage rooting, then maintain consistent moisture during the first growing season. 

Prune in spring before new growth to maintain a balanced pyramidal shape and stimulate abundant flowering. Apply organic mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.

This spectacular shrub offers prolonged blooming from mid-summer until the first frosts, with flowers transitioning from bright pink to creamy white. Ideal for beds, flowering hedges, and cottage gardens, it adds color, texture, and autumnal interest to the landscape with minimal maintenance.
