Notes
'Pink Cloud' beauty bush (Kolkwitzia amabilis 'Pink Cloud') is a shrub for borders, cottage gardens, specimen planting, and hedges. 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. Pink blooms cover its arching branches in early to late spring, and hummingbirds, bees, and birds visit them. It sits low on the menu for deer. Give it room, since it can spread 120 inches wide.
Pairs well with Mock orange, Standing Ovation little bluestem, and Carnaval De Nice tulip.
