✂️ Care
Plant in full sun or partial shade in rich, well-drained, neutral to slightly acidic soil. Water regularly at planting to encourage root establishment, then maintain consistent moisture during the first growing season.
Prune in spring before new growth to maintain a slender silhouette and encourage spectacular flowering. Apply organic mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
Ideal for medium-sized gardens, structured beds, and landscape designs, it offers a remarkable chromatic transition from pure white to berry pink, generous panicles, and prolonged interest with minimal maintenance once established.
