This shrub typically grows 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, forming an upright, rounded shape. It thrives in full sun and is hardy in USDA zones 3 through 7. 'Spicy Devil' is drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and adaptable to various soil types, making it an excellent choice for borders, foundations, hedges, or container plantings.
Its colorful foliage and resilience make it a standout addition to any landscape.
