Super HARDY selection with vivid glowing, gold foliage and plenty of contrasting blue flowers in late summer and early fall. Deciduous, mounding shrub 2-3’ high and wide that blooms on new wood (so cut it back hard in spring for best bloom). Deer and critter proof for us. Appreciates well-drained soil and a hot, sunny siting. This is a dependable, late blooming genus for us and a great late season foundation plant.
