Deep rose-pink buds open to curvy edged flowers that are shell-pink with white overtones and a bright-yellow blotch. Bred for its exceptional hardiness with buds that can handle temperatures down to -30 to -45 degrees F! Pretty in bloom and a nice shrub for hedge or border summer, grows 4 to 5' tall and just as wide. This fine member of the Northern Lights series was introduced in 2000 by the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum. S-PSh/M
