Kolkwitzia amabilis.

I had this one in our last garden , it,s one I should get again ........

It looks lovely, is it scented?

Nnnnooo. I hesitated as I don't think so - if it ever stops raining, I shall poke my nose into the flowers!

very pretty :-)

Wow lovely Spritz...............

The branches have a graceful 'draping' habit. I'll try to get a photo when it's full out. Its common name is 'the beauty bush' and that sums it up for me! :-)

oh yes definately.

Could I just kidnap you and put you to work in my garden lol!!!!!! Would this grow in clay soil?

I looked this up on the internet - well named species 'pink cloud' and 'beauty bush' but unfortunately I don't think they would suit my soil.

After reading one of your other blogs you suggested A. trifoliata to someome - think that can take clay soil. Have put it on my next to buy list.

Good for you,Evy! :-)

Not grown this one, no room for it in our garden, shame as its beautiful.
