An unusual and beautiful form with pink, white, and red flowers on the same plant, even on the same branch!; an upright medium-tall shrub. S/M

By: Forestfarm

It's outstanding feature is that it may bear reddish-pink, white and pink flowers all on the same plant for an exciting floral display! A plant may not have red flowers every spring. Someone theorized that the plant must have an exact balance of trace minerals. Oddly enough, grafts and cuttings made from old plants usually don't have red flowers for a few years. Upright growth habit. Very large fruit.
