Near the high water mark in a genus of over 500 species, flowers similar to chamaebuxus with flaming fluorescent pink and yellow winged butterflies, shrubby narrow linear leaves, much more permanent than chamaebuxus, at least here. It deserves a special place in the garden to prominently display such a treasure. ZONE 4
