Very nice plant. Foliage is a pretty dark green, love the flower color. The only pesky thing about Encores is that the blooms take a very long time to fall off naturally, and thus require by-hand deadheading unless you want dead flowers on your shrub for at least a month. Blooms 3 times a year for me in Dallas, TX.
