I am a very attractive evergreen shrub with deep green sweet smelling aromatic foliage and a profusion of vibrant red to lipstick pink bell shaped flowers that hang down along my stems throughout spring.
Deceptively hardy for my delicate form I cope well with a range of soils and conditions.
I am a great choice for areas where people brush past to enjoy my scent year round.
I enjoy consistent moisture and dislike my roots drying out.
