This vibrant evergreen shrub features a graceful espalier form, perfect for adding vertical interest to walls or fences. With a mounding, upright habit, it thrives in USDA zones 7-9 and prefers moderate climates with temperatures between 20°F to 50°F. Its glossy, dark green foliage is a stunning backdrop for striking semi-double, deep rosy-pink flowers that bloom in late fall through winter, providing a welcome splash of color. While it does not offer significant fall foliage change, its blossoms more than make up for it. This variety performs best in rich, acidic, well-drained soils with consistent moisture and partial to full shade. It reaches a mature height of 8 to 10 feet and spreads up to 6 feet, making it a statement piece in the garden or landscape. Deer-resistant and relatively low-maintenance, it’s a great choice for gardeners seeking elegance and seasonal appeal in their planting designs.
