A gracefully rounded evergreen shrub with a bushy habit, this plant thrives in USDA hardiness zones 7-9, preferring temperatures between 0°F to 10°F (-17°C to -12°C). Its stunning soft pink blooms appear in late fall to early winter, offering an elegant pop of color to the garden. The glossy, dark green foliage remains year-round, adding dense, lush coverage. This variety grows 6-10 feet tall and wide at maturity, making it ideal for hedges or as a specimen plant. It flourishes in rich, well-drained, acidic soils and should be planted in partial shade to protect its delicate blooms. While not explicitly deer-resistant, it may endure light browsing. This variety does not produce significant fall color changes but compensates with its profuse, showy flowers and sculptural form.
