If you're looking for a flowering shrub with a long bloom time, this is it! In late spring, this beauty is covered in long spires packed with purple/blue flowers, and the flower show continues through fall, giving you and pollinators plenty of time to stop and enjoy. You can even collect some of those flowers for cut flower arrangements! It has a tidy, rounded shape that is super easy to maintain. Plus, this beauty is drought- and heat-tolerant and deer-resistant. It is also very reliable, as it flowers on new wood

4-12 feet tall and 4-5 feet wide at maturity
