2 to 3 feet high. Loves a humus soil, not 
particularly alkaline, and water during 
the hot, dry weather. While it likes to

are 2 year old grafted, out of 4 inch pots.

compact, low-growing shrubs, and ex¬

the wiry stems, and either in full bloom

Either full sun or light shade, in a lime- 
free soil. Any good garden loam with 
plenty of peat or leaf mold.
