Reaching a height of approximately 4 to 5 feet with a similar spread, 'Miss Ruby' is well-suited for a variety of landscapes, whether as a focal point or in mixed borders. The flowers, which typically bloom from mid-summer to fall, are not only visually appealing but also emit a delightful fragrance that draws butterflies and hummingbirds, enhancing the biodiversity of your garden.

This shrub thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it relatively low-maintenance once established. It is also known for its drought tolerance, which allows for flexibility in watering schedules. Pruning in late winter or early spring encourages new growth and a more abundant flowering display.
