Can't say enough good things about this utterly stunning and unique shrub. Truly captivating in every way, it produces a mass of blooms that defy reality with their beauty and resemblance to an ephemeral pink cloud puff. 'Winecraft Black' is notorious for it's profusion of big, showy, smoky seed heads and will impress you at every turn from its burgundy foliage that stays pretty clean all season to its wild flowers and its unique growth habit. Can be planted as a specimen or in a grouping for a hedge, works either way. Part to full sun (we have ours in full sun and they are thriving), average soil fertility and average moisture requirements. Deer proof. Plant patented, so no propagation is allowed.
