Grows to approximately 1 m tall, with a spread of around 80 cm.
It has a compact, upright and bushy habit, making it suitable for low hedges, borders, or container planting.
Thrives in full sun to partial shade and requires well-drained, neutral to alkaline soil.
Exceptionally drought-tolerant and heat-resistant, this variety aligns well with water-wise gardening trends.
A magnet for bees and butterflies, thanks to its nectar-rich flowers.
Hardiness: Generally hardy down to around –5 °C, though more sheltered positioning or microclimate protection can extend its resilience.
Low-maintenance: Disease- and pest-resistant.
Pruning: To maintain a compact form and prevent straggly growth, hard prune in early spring, leaving a few buds per stem.
Flowering season: From June to the end of September, and in favourable conditions possibly even into November.
The foliage remains evergreen and decorative year-round.
