The wonder of wonders...I never thought I would find one day a bush with such lovely flowers in soft, fresh and warm shades at the same time, a dream come true!!!...and the flowers are even more beautiful than in the photos above, see mine below...the growth is quite slow, but it withstands exposure to the icy wind without any problems (I am in the mountains), be careful as the young branches can be brittle but it shows good hardiness...every year it confirms my first impression: it is a star of the garden to be placed in the center of a bed!!! Thank you Promesse de fleurs for this discovery!!!
