Dense, vigorous, rounded, broadleaf evergreen shrub with deep, dark green foliage. Big flower buds burst into bloom in mid to late May with big violet-purple bloom trusses that cover the plant. Great for specimen use in foundation plantings or planted in groups for semi-shaded border areas. Amazingly hardy and floriferous displaying great dependability and very nice foliage.
