This evergreen perennial forms a tidy, clumping habit with glossy, leathery foliage that provides year-round interest. Hardy in USDA Zones 5-8, it thrives in temperatures ranging from -20°F to 30°F, making it perfect for cooler climates. The plant dazzles with clusters of pink blooms in late winter to early spring, which mature to softer shades of rose and cream, providing long-lasting floral interest. The foliage remains green through the fall, with no significant color changes. Its fragrant, cup-shaped flowers attract early pollinators, while the plant ensures deer resistance, making it a great choice for gardens troubled by browsing wildlife. It grows to a mature height of 12-15 inches, preferring well-drained soil rich in organic matter and performing well in full to partial shade. With a rounded, compact shape, this cold-hardy plant is an excellent choice for borders, containers, and woodland garden settings.
