Nursery contributed plant descriptions

So EASY! Everblooming; evergreen; low-maintenance; fast-growing; drought, deer, slug, & clay tolerant! Not to mention MASSIVE fist-sized clusters of traffic-stopping-pink 1” blooms with crimson hearts. This extra-bushy variety forms a dense, rounded shrub 3’x3’. A great choice for a hell strip! Lovely in a large container, which is great for those of you in zone denial - just over-winter near a sunny window. Cut back to 8” in Winter & side-dress with compost in the Spring for best form.
