Description
Althea Dark Lavender Chiffon is a gorgeous flowering shrub or small ornamental tree that brings stunning late-summer color to the landscape when many other plants have faded. It features large, semi-double blooms in a rich lavender-purple with a textural, ruffled center and a bold splash of deeper color at the base of each petal. These long-lasting flowers cover the upright branches, offering a fresh and satisfying burst of interest. Its tidy, upright habit makes it an elegant choice for borders, specimen plantings, or as a flowering hedge. This standout performer continues to bloom prolifically into fall, delivering one of the finest displays of seasonal color.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Prefers full sun
  • Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish strong roots and encourage healthy flowering; once established, needs minimal supplemental watering except in prolonged dry periods
  • Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature
  • Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage vigorous new growth

With its bold blooms, extended flowering season, and upright form, Althea Dark Lavender Chiffon makes a stunning statement in the landscape, offering lasting color and structure when it's needed most.
