Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This dense, gracefully arching shrub (to 10') becomes a small pink, earth-bound, ?cloud? of clear-pink, yellow-throated blossoms in early summer; untemperamental and very effective. S/M
Originally selected in 1946 at Wisley's Royal Horticultural Gardens, this reliable eye-catching old-timer delivers a splendid showing of broadly ovate dark green foliage and bell-shaped, yellow-throated clear pink blooms year after year. Arched suckering branches sculpt a pleasing vase-shaped shrub that features capsule-like fruit and attractive exfoliating bark once the clustered flowery profusion has faded. A deciduous deer resistant member of the Honeysuckle family and kin to Weigela, 'Pink Cloud's dense vigorous growth appreciates periodic thinning, even a late winter hard pruning and craves a well-drained sunny spot with moderate moisture.
