Its columnar form makes it an excellent choice for creating hedges or screens, providing vibrant summer color in tight spots.

With its limitless landscape potential, Purple Pillar® is ideal for narrow hedges, privacy screens, formal gardens, entryways, and decorative containers, offering a bold and elegant display wherever it’s planted.

Our deciduous shrubs are entering their natural dormancy phase. As part of this process, foliage is turning colors, drying out, and falling off—this is completely normal! Shedding leaves helps the plants conserve energy and prepare for the next growing season. Rest assured, your shrubs will wake up and thrive again when it's time in your growing zone. Dormancy is how they prepare for a healthy, vibrant comeback as the seasons change!

 

Care: Requires well-draining soil.  Regular pruning is not required. May be trimmed, pruned, or shaped as desired in early spring. Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and mid-summer.
