Know before you buy
This variety is known for its extended blooming cycle, producing vibrant pink flowers from spring through the fall months.
Part sun means the plant prefers about 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight daily, ideally during the cooler morning hours. Avoid placing it in areas with harsh, direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the foliage.
The Autumn Cheer is an evergreen shrub, meaning it will retain its foliage throughout the year, providing structure and color to your garden even during the winter months.
This variety is specifically rated for hardiness zone 7 and above. If you live in a colder climate, the plant may not survive the winter outdoors, though it can be grown in containers and moved to a protected area during freezing temperatures.
It is considered a low-maintenance plant. It is naturally insect-resistant and requires only moderate watering to stay healthy, making it a great choice for gardeners who want consistent color without constant upkeep.
