Flowers in summer to early autumn, and makes a medium shrub about 11.2m tall and wide at maturity, ideal for mixed borders or woodland-edge plantings; keep the soil evenly moist in dry spells.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
