This compact, deciduous shrub boasts a rounded habit with a mature height and spread of approximately 3-4 feet, making it a great choice for smaller landscapes or containers. Hardy to Zones 4-9, it thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, tolerating a variety of soil types. Its vibrant crimson red flowers bloom prolifically in late spring and often rebloom sporadically throughout the summer, providing extended color and attracting pollinators like hummingbirds. The green foliage offers a lush backdrop to the flowers, and while there isn’t prominent fall color, the plant maintains its ornamental appeal through the growing season. Deer-resistant and low-maintenance, this shrub is perfect for adding a bold and colorful accent to gardens, foundations, and mixed borders.
