Description
Impressive flowerheads, larger than on other cultivars, flaunt pretty pink flowers that bloom in early summer and then again, less prolifically, in early autumn. A bushy and branching plant, it can be used in hedgeing or in containers, and its glossy evergreen foliage provides texture and interest year-round.

Care Tips
