Grown from Chinese seed, this handsome evergreen was selected by Mark Griffith for its compact (to 3-4') habit, fragrant single ?daisy? flowers followed by red hip fruits and is proving to be one of the hardiest. S-P/M
Supposedly more hardy than 'Kleim's Hardy' and 'Shooting Star' and with hardiness to Zone 5 according to Michael Dirr's Virtual Tags website but wow, that's a pretty extreme claim. Don't quote us on that but the man who introduced it -- 'Grif's Select' was developed from seeds that Michael Dirr received from the Beijing Botanic Garden and introduced to the trade. Heavy red fruit capsules in Fall.
