Fountain bush is an erect, evergreen shrub that can grow to a height of approximately 8-10 feet (2.4-3 meters) with a spread of over 10 feet (3 meters). This shrub tends towards a tree-like form as it matures, often exhibiting a bare base. The stems are cloaked in dark green, pinnately compound leaves, featuring needle-shaped, soft leaflets. During spring and summer, it boasts a profusion of 1/2 inch (about 1.3 cm) wide flowers, with an attractive blend of lavender-blue and white hues, that exude a sweet fragrance. These pea-like blossoms predominantly decorate the branch tips.
