'Polar Passion' has a profusion of pretty dusky pink flowers emerging from early to mid spring. Mid green leaves with slender cream margins provide an elegant background for this visually appealing shrub.
Garden care: Add composted pine needles or ericaceous compost when planting and apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch each year around the base of the plant in early spring. Remove the faded flower-heads in late spring along with any frost-damaged foliage.
