The twigs are covered with a grayish-tan fuzz (indumentum). The flowers start to swell in late January and open in February and March, depending on the temperature. ‘Mt Aso’ will even open for Valentine’s Day if cut and brought inside; it makes a wonderful alternative to red roses, as you can grow these yourself for your beloved!

It’s a non-fussy shrub that will grow almost anywhere in full sun; in sandy, average or moist soil (as long as it is watered regularly in areas of low rainfall).
