Covered in stunning blue flowers with violet overtones along the branches from late summer to mid fall, which emerge from distinctive white flower buds. The flowers are excellent for cutting. It has attractive forest green deciduous foliage. The glossy oval leaves are highly ornamental but do not develop any appreciable fall color. This is a relatively low maintenance shrub, and is best pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed. Grows to 3 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 30 inches. This shrub should only be grown in full sunlight. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. This plant does not require much in the way of fertilizing once established. Photo courtesy of Ball Seed.
