River Dog Rose

River Dog Rose

Bauera rubiodes x sessiliflora

Description

Meet our little gem! This adorable shrub is a year-round bloomer, with spring and summer being its main flower fest days. It's like a superhero for tricky half-shady spots that are super moist - it thrives in these conditions! Plus, it rocks coastal gardens, too. It has tiny leaves and a lush growth habit, shaping into a perfect little mound. Just be sure to keep it consistently watered for the best results. And don't worry if you need a trim - just give it a light prune in spring or summer, or leave it alone if you're feeling lazy! This little guy is happy in cool temperate to sub-tropical zones and can handle medium frosts.
