More about this plant

<p>A PJM selection reaching about 6 feet in ten years and 6 to 8 feet tall by 5 to 6 feet wide at maturity, with dense branching and glossy dark green elliptic leaves that hold through winter. It reblooms, carrying openly funnel shaped, fragrant, pinkish lavender flowers about 1.5 inches across with wavy edges and a darker blotch, early in spring and again very late in the season. It is cold hardy to about 15 degrees below zero Fahrenheit and rated for zones 5 to 9, is described as extremely heat tolerant and disease resistant, and tolerates drought and salt once established in slightly acid, well drained soil.

Flowers: Openly funnel shaped blooms about 1.5 inches across with wavy edges, pinkish lavender with a darker blotch, fragrant, opening early in spring and again very late in the season around September.
Foliage: Leaves elliptic with an acute apex and cuneate base, glossy and dark green, resistant to pests and disease.
Light: Morning Sun, Dappled/Filtered Light
Pruning: Prune just after the spring flowering so the later flush of bloom and next year's buds are not removed.
