Despite its name, 'Royal Red' is celebrated for its stunning deep wine-red to velvety purple blooms, widely considered the closest to "red" available in the davidii species. Each arching branch is tipped with long, honey-scented flower spikes from mid-summer through to early autumn. Its grey-green, lance-shaped foliage provides a muted backdrop that makes the vibrant, saturated colour of the blossoms truly stand out.
This award-winning shrub is exceptionally easy to grow and provides an essential nectar source for garden pollinators. To maintain its vigour and ensure the largest flower spikes, it should be pruned hard in early spring back to a low framework. It thrives in almost any well-drained soil and loves a sunny position. To help it establish quickly and develop a strong root system, we recommend using Rootgrow when planting. To support its rapid summer growth and heavy flowering, apply Vitax Q4 All Purpose Fertiliser in the spring.
