✂️ Care
Very easy to grow. Prune lightly in spring to encourage dense branching and abundant flowering. Apply an organic mulch around the base to regulate moisture.
A balanced fertilization at the beginning of the 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 beds, with spectacular late-summer blooms.
