Lilla Smoke Bush questions
How big does Lilla Smoke Bush get?

Lilla Smoke Bush is hardy in USDA zones 5-8. Light: full sun to part sun.
When does Lilla Smoke Bush bloom?

When should I prune Lilla Smoke Bush?
Prune in late winter. Light pruning keeps the smoky summer plumes. Hard pruning makes a smaller plant with bolder foliage but fewer plumes.
Why doesn't my Lilla Smoke Bush have smoky plumes?
The plumes form on older wood, so hard pruning each spring or a young plant means fewer plumes. For more plumes, prune lightly and give it full sun.
