This refined shrub produces large clusters that burst forth in a vibrant lime-green hue and gradually shift to soft pink as the season progresses, creating an inspiring spectacle that enhances any outdoor setting. Its dense, mounded habit and well-proportioned form make it ideal as a focal point in mixed shrub borders or as a standout specimen in containers. Grown in rich, moist, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic pH (around 5.5–6.5), its bloom color is beautifully supported, offering a tidy and captivating presence throughout the season.
