Balanced fertilization in early season encourages prolonged and vigorous flowering.
No staking required thanks to its naturally robust structure.
This hardy shrub offers a majestic presence in hedges, as a specimen plant, or in the background of a bed, with spectacular magenta pink flowers in late summer.
