About this plant
This deciduous shrub is known for its upright, spreading habit and its spectacular display of deep red, fragrant flowers that bloom in late winter to early spring, brightening the landscape when most other plants lie dormant. Recommended for hardiness in USDA zones 5-8, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and performs best in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. This plant exhibits rich orange to red fall color, providing a second season of interest. Its open, vase-shaped form matures to a height of 8-12 feet and a similar spread, making it an outstanding focal point in borders or woodland gardens. Highly deer-resistant, it is a sturdy choice for areas with wildlife pressure.
