Description

Floriferous shrubs, of which thousands of varieties have been created through successive and repeated cross-breeding. In regions snowy regions, the stumps will benefit from being protected with a litter layer of dead leaves after cutting back the foliage to 10 cm (3.9 in) above the ground.

Our little favorite, it forms a small upright bush, composed of tiny leaves with dark green dentate edges. The flowers, small pendulous trumpets barely larger than those of hemsleyana or a very large grain of rice, are... fuchsia pink, superb!
