Nursery contributed plant descriptions

North Carolina to Florida. A rounded mound with graceful arching, slender branches. Most notable for its handsome bluish-green foliage which turns yellow in the fall.  Clusters of 3/8” wide, urn-shaped white flowers appear in May and June. Does best in acid, moist, well drained soils, in the sun. In late winter we prune back last years flowering stalks to the newer growth. "One of the most beautiful and most neglected of the early summer flowering shrubs" Hilliers.
