✂️ Care
Plant in partial to full shade in rich, well-drained, acidic soil for blue flowers, or neutral for pink hues. Water regularly at planting to promote root establishment, then maintain consistent moisture throughout the growing season.
Prune in spring by removing dead stems and slightly reducing the height to stimulate abundant flowering. Remove spent flowers to prolong blooming until the first frosts.
This vigorous and free-flowering shrub offers spectacular reblooming from spring until the first frosts. Ideal for beds, borders, and shaded gardens, it brings color and structure to the landscape with moderate care and remarkable hardiness.
