Launched exclusively by us. A deep pink form of Polar Bear with fragrant trumpet-shaped flowers and a light green throat. This is a wonderful fast growing very large sturdy shrub that flowers in June/July. A really stunning plant that has large pale green leaves. It does need shelter from strong breezes and prefers a woodland setting to protect blooms. Height 180 cm or more, in 10 years.
