Plant Details

‘Anthony Waterer' is a compact cultivar that grows to 2-3' tall and to 3-4' wide. Carmine red flowers in flattened corymbs (to 6" wide) appear in a showy bloom from late spring to mid-summer. New foliage emerges with reddish purple tinting in spring, matures to blue-green by summer and finally turns reddish in fall. Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates light shade. Tolerates a wide range of soils. Remove faded flower clusters as practicable (light shearing is an option) to encourage additional bloom. Flowers on new wood, so prune in late winter to early spring if needed. (Missouri Botanic Garden)
