✂️ Care
Plant in full sun to partial shade in rich, well-drained, neutral to slightly acidic soil. Water regularly at planting to encourage root establishment, then maintain consistent moisture throughout the growing season.
Prune in spring before new growth to maintain an upright shape and encourage generous flowering. Apply an organic mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
Perfect for medium-sized gardens, structured flowerbeds, and landscape designs, this variety offers prolonged flowering and remarkable visual interest with its scarlet red flowers evolving into deep burgundy hues, forming spectacular panicles and requiring regular maintenance once established.
