The showy deep-purple new growth of this 4-6' shrub recently introduced by the U.S. National Arboretum makes it attractive not only in late summer when large mop-head flowers of blue (or pink) take their bow, but also spring-early summer. PSh/Med

MOPHEAD. The unique dark purple or black branches on this plant stand out elegantly from the light green leaf color. This late season mophead opens cream colored and matures to pink-lilac.

The light pink or blue mop-head flowers are nice and the light green foliage agreeable, but what grabs your attention is the black stems.
