Re: News

I dont know.... I was rushed as mother was with me. That was the big
name on the tag.... I was not familar with the shrub at all and only
gave it a quick read. 6ft tall, zone 5, blooms in May.

   
the 'one' that was blooming had a draping flowing version with pinky/red
tiny flowers along each branch. The skids of them had more an upright
behavier, but also looked like a weedy shrub...which kept me walking
when mother was calling....
