Introduced by Federal Research Institute for Horticulture, Wadenswil, Switzerland in 1952. The books tell us that this will be bright crimson and indeed the flowers are rich rose when they mature. The wonder of this shrub is its dwarf nature and compact mop heads that are 4-5 inches across. The fertile flowers are visible within the mop heads giving them a fuzzy look. This is a late season bloomer.
Late summer. bloom 20 in.
