Tidy and compact deciduous shrub with round clusters of vibrant purple-red buds that open to bright cerise-colored flowers. Blooms from summer into fall, offset by the rich purple new foliage that emerges throughout the growing season, aging to a deep green. Perfect for low borders, edging pathways, or container plantings. Attracts bees and butterflies.
