Pink flowers stand out against purple leaves that hold their color through the growing season. ## Site and uses Grow it in part sun to sun in moist, well-drained, acidic soil. Use it as a ground-covering shrub, border plant, container specimen, or mass planting; it is listed as deer resistant. ## Maintenance Water at an average rate and fertilize in spring.
