Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

Pink-A-Boo is a clever way of saying this upright shrub has pink flowers that seem to come out of nowhere and sparkle any garden. It is open textured and graceful. A spectacular addition to any garden.
Grow in well drained, loamy soil, in light shade to ful sun. It is pH adaptive. It will look best if it gets a hard pruning, which is best done immediately after flowering. Due to winter die-back, you might want to remove dead branches in early spring. Hardy to USDA Zone 4, though it invariably experiences some die-back over the winter months.
