This native sweetshrub has the typical green leaves on this 8' tall x 8' wide, slowly-suckering, deer-resistant deciduous shrub that have been replaced by ones with dark purple pigment, which holds well through the summer heat. In early spring, the plants are adorned with fragrant, burgundy-colored axillary flowers. (Information from Plant Delights Nursery)
