Wonderful shade tolerant bloomer! Gorgeous pink flowers with mauve throats that look almost artificial. The flower stays on the plant for a few days. The shrub has naturally round shape. Blooms from late winter through spring and summer. Perfect container plant or can be gown as a specimen in a small garden. Very rare, hard to propagate. It happily blooms in shade, and the fruit resembles a small apple and is enjoyed by birds and wildlife. Very undemanding plant.
