A deciduous shrub known for its profuse, bell-shaped, lilac-pink flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer and attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. It grows to about 5-6 feet tall and wide, has a coarse-textured, upright, oval, or somewhat arching habit, and thrives in full sun and average, well-drained soil. The plant requires minimal maintenance, with pruning best done immediately after the spring flowering period to avoid removing future blooms.
