Care and garden use

Prune in early spring before flowering. Sap contact can cause mild skin irritation; avoid direct contact when handling or pruning.

Use as a supported specimen, for screening, on trellises or pergolas, in wildlife gardens, or in suitably sized containers with support. Pond-side sites must provide well-drained soil rather than waterlogged conditions. Pair with bee balm, milkweed, or butterfly bush where growing conditions suit each plant.
