Notes
This hardy, semi-evergreen shrub has a compact, bushy growth habit and is admired for its beautiful flowers. The blooms begin as pink buds that gradually open into soft pink-white blossoms arranged in clusters at the tips of the shoots. As the flowers mature, they change to warm orange-yellow tones. Sweetly scented, the blooms are highly attractive to bees and butterflies and appear from late spring through to early autumn.
