Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

Growing only 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, 'Sikes Dwarf' is a great addition to an urban shade garden, as it’s half the size of most quercifolias. Lobed and closely spaced, the handsome broad foliage shows off abundant ivory-colored conical blooms. Foliage turns a deep, rich burgundy in the fall, and the flowers tinge to the softist pink as they age. Its smaller stature also means it fits in the shady perennial border with ease.
