Notes
'Jolene Jolene' beauty bush (Kolkwitzia amabilis 'Jolene Jolene') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, and specimen planting. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. The arching branches fill with blooms from early to late spring. Deer rarely make it their first choice. Hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit it, and it tolerates drought.
Pairs well with Inkberry, Red Charm peony, and Standing Ovation little bluestem.
