Description

This evergreen shrub grows 3'-5' tall. Its leaves are gray green and narrow. Flowers produced are pea-like, with a purplish-pink color from summer through fall. Flowers are great in arrangements. This is a great plant if you need color quickly. Plants are not long lasting but worth the effort. Prune in winter to tidy this shrub.

Apply a layer of mulch around plants to reduce moisture loss.

Choose organic mulches, such as shredded bark, compost or aged sawdust.
