Masses of double, crimson, saucer-shaped flowers borne on arching shoots from late spring to early summer and aromatic mid- to dark green leaves. This dense ornamental shrub makes a fabulous specimen plant for a sunny shrub border. It is a frost hardy plant but in milder areas will grow happily against a warm, sunny wall. - Garden care: After flowering, lightly trim or prune back shoots to maintain symmetry.
