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

    Unsatisfied Did not survive, inferior performance or did not bloom well - won't grow again.

  • Love the beauty of this shurb. It is a great surprize everytime it blooms in the middle of spring here in Nebraska. I watch for the first sign of blooms and am always surprized to find them open when I least expect.

    Above Average Superior performance, among my favorites, would recommend to others.
