Care Notes

Plant in moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil. Soil pH affects flower color; acidic soil produces bluer tones, alkaline leans pink. This cultivar blooms primarily on old wood but also reblooms on new wood; prune minimally, removing only dead or damaged stems in early spring. Mulch to retain moisture.
