Bought on sale fall of 22. Arrived chopped to the ground with no time to recover before winter. Never bounced back. Finally spring to 25 holding on by a thread, I pulled it up and potted it in my nursery. It had been planted next to a pond so it never dried out. Hoping for a better future than its beginning.

This shrub is absolutely lovely, the description is very accurate. I purchased on online from Proven Winners about 3 years ago. It is flourishing in an area of the yard where the soil remains wet during the winter and sometimes has standing water for several days. Despite the 95F+ temps and beastly heat this summer it is still beautiful. The shrub has a nicely rounded shape and has never burned when the big canine boys relieve themselves on it.
