Fast-growing evergreen shrub with an upright growth-habit to 6-8’ tall and wide. This tough sun loving long-blooming variety grows more compact and rounded than many standard varieties and features narrow glossy dark-green foliage accented with a profusion of unique double salmon-pink flowers appearing mid-spring through summer attracting bees. Tolerates heat reflected heat drought coastal conditions and a variety of soil types provided they’re well-drained. Well-suited as an accent hedge background screen or container specimen and looks great as a mass planting. All parts of this plant contain a milky sap that is poisonous if ingested so caution should be used when pruning or working with this species. Thrives in a full sun exposure with light watering.
