We were introduced to this diminutive evergreen shrub by Rick Lupp owner of the late Mt. Tahoma Nursery, WA. This is a selection done at the Swiss nursery Correvon and Son sometime in the 1960's. The cross is between D. petraea and D. cneorum resulting in a short trailing woody shrub with small, narrow leaves that are dark green when mature. Flowers are abundant and fragrant. The pink buds open to four-lobed flowers of pale pink. This is ideal for a rockery with good drainage.
Spring, summer. 6 in. x 10-12 in.
