Vibrant clusters of fragrant blooms attract pollinators
This lovely plant is a small, evergreen wonder that brings a splash of vibrant color to your landscape. With bright green, shiny foliage providing a striking backdrop, it showcases stunning lavender and purple clusters of fragrant blooms each spring. This shrub is not just a feast for the eyes; it also fills the air with an enchanting scent, turning your yard into a delightful haven for pollinators like bees and butterflies.
Versatile in form, you can enjoy it as a lush shrub or choose to shape it into a single or multi-trunk tree to suit your aesthetic preferences. It’s particularly appealing for those looking for low-maintenance options, as it is drought tolerant and thrives in well-drained soil. Even if you prefer to give it regular watering, it will adapt beautifully, adding both visual charm and a touch of nature's serenity to your outdoor space.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. If grown as a tree, remove the stake and ties at planting, as these are only for shipping. Choose a location with plenty of sun and well-drained soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep, gently placing the plant in the center before backfilling with soil.
2. Watering: Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, especially as the plant establishes. Once mature, it can tolerate drought but benefits from occasional watering during dry spells.
3. Pruning: Prune in early spring after flowering to remove spent blooms and maintain a tidy shape. If grown as a tree, trim lower branches to promote a clear trunk and ensure good airflow.
4. Fertilizing: Fertilize sparingly with a balanced fertilizer during the growing season. Too much fertilizer can lead to excessive foliage at the expense of blooms.
