Planting Tips

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in moist, well-draining soil, although this species is remarkably adaptable and tolerates wet sites or heavy clay better than most. Select a location in full sun to partial shade, noting that maximum sun exposure is required for the most prolific flower production and the most intense crimson-purple autumn leaf color. Establishment requires consistent moisture during the first season to ensure the root system develops properly. Prune immediately after flowering to maintain shape or encourage density, as this species blooms on old wood.
