| Posted by porkpal (Richmond, TX) on Feb 12, 2014 8:54 AM In my garden in Texas near the Gulf, Archduke Charles is an unusually small and tidy shrub for a China. It normally blooms almost all year long and holds its flowers for a long time as they gradually change from pale pink to deep red. It does sometimes lose its leaves due to extreme summer heat, but endures my minimal care and watering to revive each fall. [ Reply to this comment | |
