Larger flowers may be obtained by pruning back hard to 2-3 buds in early spring. Leaves are diamond-shaped, dark green, slightly palmate and toothed. Excellent flowering shrub that may be massed, planted in groups or used as a specimen. Very tolerant of summer heat and humidity. ... more information
