Use as a specimen accent or an anchor for a butterfly and pollinator garden mixed with attractors such as American Beautyberry, Melochia, Porterweed and Firespike. Also ideal as an informal screening hedge. While able to take full sun all day, a half-shade location will result in deeper-green foliage. Feed with a slow-release 14-14-14 granular fertilizer every three months. Pluck off any wilted foliage to maintain an attractive appearance. A hard prune by half in late summer will promote new growth and blooms in spring.
