    This is NOT’ winter hardy in our area, but what it lacks in hardiness it makes up for in sheer number of blooms! One of the bloominest plants we know of, this compact evergreen shrublet can reach 3’ and is covered with vibrant magenta-purple blooms from spring till late fall! Super as a long season potted plant or a soce filler in the garden. Full sun, most soils, doesn’t need a lot of water. Deer resistant. USDA Z9 4” pot
