✂️ Care
Very easy to grow. Prune lightly in spring to maintain a balanced silhouette and encourage abundant flowering. Apply organic mulch around 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 upright habit.
This hardy shrub offers a remarkable visual presence in hedges, as a specimen plant, or as a focal point, with its sophisticated lavender flowers illuminating the garden from August to September.
