✂️ Maintenance
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 vertical habit.
This hardy shrub provides a remarkable visual presence in hedges, as a specimen plant, or as a focal point, with its delicate bicolor flowers illuminating the garden from August to September.
