There is no wonder the crowds wooed over this introduction in 2009 from Raymond Evison, its deep purple blooms are magnificently set off with a contrasting center. Compact form and controllable size makes this a great addition for the fence post or mailbox garden. Easy to maintain - just prune back to 6-12" each spring and watch the lush foliage climb to 4' each season and cover itself with blooms from late spring to the fall!
