A very original ornamental shrub with a loose habit. It grows to about 1.5 – 3.0 m in height and width. It does not produce root suckers. The leaves are green and turn red in autumn, which further enhances the decorative value of the shrub. The flowers are light purple, fragrant, and gathered in loose, long panicles. The shrub is highly frost-resistant.

Use: Suitable for any garden. Due to its high tolerance to pollution, it can be used in public green spaces. Since the flowers wilt quickly after cutting the branches, it is not suitable as a cut flower.

Blooming: Starts in June.

Position: Sunny, possibly partial shade.

Care: Does not require special treatments, grows best in fertile, well-draining soil with a neutral or slightly alkaline pH.

Pruning: As one of the few, it can be freely pruned, taking any form. It is also recommended to immediately remove the faded flower heads. This procedure encourages more abundant blooming in the following year.
