✂️ Care
Very easy to grow. Prune lightly in spring to maintain a balanced shape and encourage abundant flowering. Apply organic mulch at the base to retain soil moisture.
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 upright habit.
This hardy shrub offers a remarkable visual presence in hedges, as a specimen plant, or as a focal point, with its deep purple flowers that illuminate the garden from July to September.
