Ideal for small gardens or foundation plantings, it offers excellent disease resistance,, burgundy fall foliage, and is hardy in zones 3-8. 
Key Characteristics & Care

Bloom: Blooms later than French hybrids on old wood, often starting in May, with flowers transitioning from purple buds to lavender-blue or white.
Soil & Water: Prefers well-drained, average soil, but is adaptable to clay and becomes drought-tolerant once established.
Maintenance: Low maintenance,, with no significant pruning required; if needed, prune immediately after flowering to avoid cutting next year's buds.
