Large, dense, fragrant, delightful blue flower panicles on a tidy, compact plant. Provides continuous summer color well into fall. A prolific bloomer without deadheading – perfect carefree summer blooming specimen for warm, sunny, small gardens and containers. Thick stems provide better winter hardiness for a dwarf form. Deciduous.
Prefers well-drained, fertile soil. Water deeply, regularly during first growing season to establish extensive root system; reduce frequency once established. Remove spent blooms for a tidy appearance. May die to the ground in colder zones, regrowing from the roots in spring. Elsewhere, prune in late fall or early spring. Feed in spring.
