Armstrong Grown Ketchup And Mustard
Best vibrant shrub for gardeners seeking low-maintenance, pollinator-friendly landscape color.

While they demand a bit of late-winter pruning to stay tidy, the trade-off is a fast-growing, pollinator-friendly plant that looks just as good in a container as it does lining a walkway.
