Description

Sugar Shack™ has a compact habit of 3.5-4' tall and wide creating a nice ball shaped habit. The foliage has an attractive gloss to it that is a nice contrast to the midsummer white blooms. The blooms are heavily fragranced with a sweet scent and in the late summer turn into small red balls of fruit. The new foliage growth is red in color and in the fall the leaves turn to burgundy.
