Design Ideas | A smaller version of Wine & Roses better fits into small gardens but still deserves high profile locations in foundation planting. Best located on light color walls or use the intense foliage color to mark entries around porch or stoop. Essential to the middle of a shrub border for multi-season interest. Makes a good accent against yellow and lime green foliage plants. Great choice for romantic cottage garden compositions and causal country gardens along picket fences or rails. |

Foliage Color | Bronze |
Companion Plants | Hydrangea (Hydrangea); Peony (Paeonia); Coneflower (Echinacea); Spirea (Spiraea); Salvia (Salvia) |
Care | Thrives in average, well-drained soils. Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency once established. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. Prune only as needed to shape after bloom period. |
