Cheerful dainty native which ranges from a low groundcover to a tallish hedge height depending on location, light, and perhaps the plant's whim... Bright bell-like blooms open vibrant hot pink, and fade to pale pink when ready to drop, framed by small green leaves. Very easy care - just give it a clip over in early spring after frosts to encourage those new buds to form.
