    So tough yet SO pretty, this fall-standout is compact enough (to 3') for the smallest garden where its graceful foliage and deep-purple flowers will be enjoyed for its autumn color; tough and drought-tolerant. S/M-D/GDr

    With the typical late spring flowers in 24" panicles and then another burst of blooms in the Fall makes this new introduction a winner! A Michael Dirr introduction which is always the ultimate seal of approval for a shrub. Touted as the 'best of the purple flowering varieties'. Could be true! Adaptable, drought and poor soil tolerant.
