I know I’ve had this shrub for a really long time, but I don’t remember where it came from. I’m surprised I remember its name! I had it in the garden for a while, but then moved it to a pot. It is probably very pot-bound after all these years and I’ve been too lazy to repot it. However, it blooms twice a year–once in the spring, then it really suffers in the hot weather and come September, it starts to bloom again.
My future plans for this forgiving plant are to pull it out of the pot in late winter and add fresh, fertile soil and prune the plant back to strong canes.
