One of a handful of bushes in my yard that the deer have left alone. Flowers almost around the year.

I agree, it is lovelier left unpruned. It will sway in a gentle breeze, adding a wonderful kinetic element to the garden.

Very fast-growing, drought-tolerant shrub offers a fresh green color year-round. Will get beaten down by rain and wind but springs back up again quickly. Gets seriously wide if not crowded by its neighbors; prune if necessary but it looks better unpruned.
