I love this plant! I"m sorry to hear some of the others have had problems with theirs, but as for me, I love it! Bloomed right away and has performed wonderfully for the last three years. I highly recommend this to everyone

Beautiful plant, BUT, as stated by a Pennsylvania reviewer, South Carolina deer also can’t read the label . I believe the plant should not be listed a “deer resistant “ as it was partially eaten after 4 days in the ground. I guess the definition of resistant is loosely attached to this plant. If deer are eating your flowers and shrubs, I would not try this plant.

I had high hopes for this shrub. I had this specific variety picked out and searched several nurseries for it. It has been marginal at best. The flowers have not attracted any attention and two of the three shrubs struggle to fill out fully with their foliage. This year they are coming out of my landscape. I am mad, just not what I had hoped for.

My 2 plants are in the correct location, properly taken care of, but - apparently our deer have not read that this plant is "deer resistant". In the three years I have had them, I have yet to see a single blossom on them. Everything is chewed off. I really wanted some color in front of my green shrubs. Oh well.....

Purchased 2 of these and neither survived the winter. What a shame because I thought they would be beautiful in my yard.
