This shrub gets up to 4-6 feet tall with an equal spacing zone. It prefers full sun to partial shade and moist acidic soil. It's white to off white blooms come mid summer to mid fall. The blooms are quite large and may bend without proper stalking. You can cut back this in fall for better growth. Propagate it by stem cuttings. This does well in dried floral arrangements.
