✂️ Care
Very easy to grow. Prune lightly in spring to maintain a balanced silhouette 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 necessary thanks to its naturally strong structure and stable vertical habit.
This hardy shrub offers a remarkable visual presence as a hedge, specimen plant, or focal point, with its creamy white flowers enhanced by a dark red center that illuminate the garden from July to October.
