It typically matures 6–10 feet tall and 9–12 feet wide. Grow it in full sun to partial shade in moist, well-drained clay or loam soil. Its native range or documented parentage is Northern China, Korea and Japan. It attracts hummingbirds and butterflies. In the landscape, it works well in accent, barrier, and border. Once established, it shows useful tolerance to deer and salt.

Builds the middle layer of the garden, adding structure between perennials and trees. Creates an early-season lift after winter with fresh color and growth.
