This deciduous shrub features a rounded shape and suckering growth, reaching heights and widths of 3 to 6 feet, with upright stems that elegantly curve. Once established, it can withstand dry soil conditions. It blooms on older wood, so it's best to prune it after flowering. For rejuvenation and to manage its spread, it can be cut back to the ground.
