With neat, dark green pinnate foliage and a naturally tidy, mound-forming habit, this reliable and easy-to-grow shrub makes an excellent choice for borders, low hedging, container planting or adding colour to mixed planting schemes. A fantastic bee-friendly plant, it provides a valuable and long-lasting source of nectar and pollen for pollinators throughout the summer months.
