This shrub is called a deciduous shrub. It will lose all its leaves in winter. Deciduous shrubs often turn different colours in autumn just before losing their leaves. A sure sign that winter is around the corner. It's hard to believe that

The shrub is considered hardy but this is a relative term and the degree of hardiness depends upon severity of climate. Seek specific advice if you live in a severe winter area

When fully grown this shrub will reach a height of about 6 feet and spread over an area of about 4 feet

Shrubs of this kind prefer soils with a pH of more than 7 to be seen at their best. Add lime to correct soil conditions for these shrubs (soil is then referred to as alkaline)

When the shrub has finished flowering it is safe to prune this shrub. Pruning of the shrub will promote new growth and new flowering.
