Description
Though this has been disregarded by some as a shrub with scant horticultural interest, we find it to be remarkable in texture and floral display and would not be without it in our perennial borders. A rounded shrub to 5 ft. or slightly more, with finely textured, small, deeply cleft foliage to 2"""", while in late spring and early summer, demure silver-lavender panicles of fragrant ôlilacsö are produced in quantity. For full sun sites in well-drained soil, though seemingly demanding of adequate summer irrigation until fully established.
