Care instructions
Grow in moist but well-drained acidic to neutral soil in full sun or partial shade. To enhance flowering prune hard in early spring, cutting back the previous season's shoots to within a few buds of the permanent, woody framework of the plant. Flowers will be lavender-blue on acidic soils with a pH 5.5. When grown on neutral soil, (with a pH of 7), the flowers will predominantly be pink.
