A deciduous shrub, Native to China and reminiscent of Spiraea. Pink blooms in late spring to mid summer on this member of the rose family with 2-4" long leaves which may turn shades of dark red in autumn. Pink Campanula-like blooms in 1-3" long racemes on this easily grown shrub. Prune immediately after flowering, thinning old stems as needed and removing suckers unless you want it to colonize. May need protection in zone 5. Can be used as a hedge.
