    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.

    Graceful fountain of arching stems with purple flowers in late summer. Useful as a specimen or mass planting. Deciduous shrub 6 x 6 ft.
