Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A useful column of deciduous foliage that grows 10-16’ tall and 4-5’ wide without pruning! Flowers mid-summer to early fall with rose flowers with dark red centers, attracting butterflies and hummers. Perfect for low maintenance hedges, lining an entry, as a formal specimen in a large container (or two in matching pots for symmetry); best in full sun, most soils (clay is ok), will need at least occasional water in dry seasons. Enjoys the coast. Deer resistant. Does not set seed.
