One of my favorite flowers, always had shrubs of them when I lived in the Pac. NW
but down here in SW Ala we are just a touch too warm for them.
throw a couple of handfuls of fertilizer under them just before it rains, just as they are starting to show flower buds,
and you will be in heaven with all the sweet blooms.
