This plant is valued for beautiful flowers that bloom in profusion in late summer and early fall. Loves sun and needs long hot summers to flower well. Grow in humus rich, well drained, slightly alkaline soil. This shrub will grow to about 12' tall with a spread of 6-10'. There are many varieties as well as many different colors, and they all take well to pruning.
