Slow-growing small deciduous shrub. We've previously grown white and yellow forms, which have proven somewhat rangy and short-lived in our garden. More recently, we purchased a plant labeled 'Pink Beauty'. I was first a little skeptical of the accuracy of this name, since the flowers appear in creamy white at first - but it looks like they fade to a soft pink after all. So far so good on the habit – it works nicely tucked into one of our rock garden areas.
