It grows in full sun or light shade and is drought tolerant. Pink Lady is a fast-growing shrub with fragrant dark pink flowers that bloom over a long period. It is grown for its show of color, for the attractive dark, leathery leaves and for its durablity which all combine to make this popular evergreen a colorful plant for the garden, either as a specimen plant, an informal hedge or screen.
