Description:
George Washington planted these in his garden in 1792! It has a strong upright habit, as wide as it gets tall around 5 to 6'. The leaves in spring & summer are a beautiful bluish green. The foliage turns orange, red, purple & yellow in autumn. This variety wants well-drained moist acid soils. It flowers best in full sun, & develops more intense autumn colors when it gets plenty of sun, though it is highy adaptable and will thrive in part shade. It is thickly flowered late April through early June with white one-inch furry balls having a scent of wild honey.
