After a uncertain spring with this bush I wasn't sure it would blossom. I didn't get it cut back when I should have and then was afraid to prune too much. The blossoms look good in spite of my pruning problems.

Very lovely, I have a small one and it needs trimming bad, just the old flowers. I like the color or yours.

I just planted mine this year and it is kind of spindly but has tiny flowers on it. The butterflies and hummingbirds like it

What a pretty color! I have 2 small ones, both a purpley blue - this is my first year with them so I haven't had to cut them back yet, but will have my turn. Nice to know they will still bloom even if neglected.
