The Story
Handsome shrub to 4-5 ft with glossy leaves, this form, a discovery in one of our seed batches, has particularly large – to over 1/3” -- pinky red fruit tasting particularly of strawberry pop tarts. (Sugar sprinkles not included.) Otherwise, 1" leaves, tipped maroon in new growth and white flowers, fragrant in spring to summer. Full sun, especially in coastal areas; dappled shade inland. Organic, well-drained soil a plus. Frost hardy to the mid teens F, mid USDA zone 8.
