A beautybush beyond compare, Jolene Jolene puts on the flower show you expect from a kolkwitzia, but at half the conventional size, so you can actually fit it into a residential landscape, or even a garden. Star-shaped pink flowers with a bright yellow throat emerge at every node to light up this tough, easy-to-grow shrub. Highly adaptable and care-free, Jolene Jolene beautybush makes an excellent flowering hedge, foundation plant, and all-purpose landscape plant.

Soil: Not at all fussy; any well-drained soil will do.
Pruning: Blooms on old wood, prune after flowering if desired. Its natural arching habit which is best enjoyed given ample space and minimal regular pruning.
