Back by popular demand, (Shrub to 8 feet) (Zone 6) Ted Stephens at Nurseries Caroliniana lists it as one of his top 10 favorite plants. It produces pink flowers at every node from March to mid-October. The profuse flowering over a long period and graceful foliage and habit makes for a wonderful garden addition. Abundant small salmon pea like blooms - great plant!  Ours doesn’t produce seed only more flowers.
