This large arching deciduous shrub from China isn’t seen anywhere near enough in Australian gardens. It is cold hardy, reasonably drought tolerant and will grow well in sun or semi-shade. It can easily reach 3 to 4metres tall and in late spring its arching elegant branches are covered with a mass of little pink trumpets with yellow spotting inside. It looks like Barbara Cartland being a twirling dervish! It is commonly known by the appropriate common name of Beauty Bush and I have flowering sized stock in 8″ pots at $22.50 as I write. Don’t miss out or you’ll be sorry.
