Opinion
"
Here is one plant only a fool would be without. This 10+ plant is well worth the room required in a garden for its elegant form, beautiful blooms and great autumn colour. It ages gracefully and has to my knowledge, no pests save the ignorant gardener who manipulates its perfect form with improper pruning practices.
