Balanced fertilization at the start of the growing season prolongs and intensifies flowering.
No staking needed thanks to its naturally strong structure and stable upright habit.
This hardy shrub offers a remarkable visual presence as a hedge, specimen plant, or focal point, with its vibrant red flowers with contrasting centers that illuminate the garden from July to September.
