An elegant evergreen shrub perfect for espalier training, this variety features an upright, compact habit with glossy, dark green foliage that provides year-round interest. Hardy in Zones 7-9, it thrives in mild climates where winter temperatures remain above 10°F. This cultivar produces stunning light pink flowers with delicate petals, typically blooming in late fall to early winter, offering a beautiful seasonal display. The plant prefers well-draining, acidic soil and benefits from a partially shaded location to avoid scorching its foliage. While it doesn't exhibit significant fall color, its flowers and foliage create a striking visual appeal. It reaches an average height of 6-8 feet when espaliered with proper training. This selection is moderately deer-resistant and an excellent option for gardeners seeking vertical greenery or an artistic focal point.
