✂️ Care
Very easy to grow. Prune lightly in spring to maintain a balanced shape and encourage abundant flowering. Apply an organic mulch around the base to retain soil moisture.
A balanced fertilization at the beginning of the growing season prolongs and intensifies flowering.
No staking is necessary thanks to its naturally strong structure and stable vertical habit.
This hardy shrub offers a remarkable visual presence as a hedge, a specimen plant, or a focal point, with its spectacular magenta flowers that illuminate the garden from July to October.
