Interesting Facts

Bees love the flowers in the spring months.  Flowers eventually give way to blue berries that birds eat.  Has a round, compact growth habit that rarely needs pruning.  Can get leggy if placed in too much shade.  If pruning is necessary, it should be done just after flowers finish in spring, and before new buds form.  If done too late in the year, plant will have minimal flowers the following year.  Has glossy green foliage year round.
