INTRODUCTION This is truly a beautiful high mountain shrub, flowering with whitish, pink, or red flowers which cover the shrub completely in the spring and attract swarms of insects which come for its sweet nectar. It can be easily grown as a bonsai-type tree because that is how it presents itself in its natural environment.
