'Palibin’ is a popular, compact, low-spreading cultivar. Pale pink, sweetly-fragrant single flowers arranged in dense, terminal clusters cover this shrub with a profuse bloom. Blooms in late April to May. This shrub is sometime grafted to a 4’ standard and sold as a small tree with a dense, rounded crown. Tree form typically matures to 8’ tall. Adaptable to poor soils and drought. Flowers attract butterflies and hummingbirds and are deer resistant. A great flowering shrub! Prune immediately after flowering. Prompt removal of faded flowers before seed set will increase the bloom production in the following year.
