Growing Tips

Plant in any well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. Extremely adaptable and unfussy. Prune hard in early spring to promote vigorous growth and abundant flowering. Removing spent flower heads encourages a second flush of blooms. Water during establishment, then largely drought-tolerant. Feed with a balanced fertilizer in spring for best performance.

Looks Great With

Combine with other summer-flowering shrubs like Potentilla and Weigela, or plant with ornamental grasses for textural contrast. Pair with purple-leaved Berberis or silver Artemisia to enhance the pink flowers. Underplant with hardy Geraniums or Alchemilla.

This classic, trouble-free shrub delivers reliable colour and structure throughout the growing season, making it an excellent choice for gardens of all styles.
