Know before you buy
This shrub reaches a mature height and width of 6 to 10 feet. Because of its graceful, arching form, it is best to provide enough room for the stems to cascade naturally without crowding nearby plants.
It thrives in full sun to partial shade. While it will bloom in partial shade, you will generally see the most profuse flower display when it receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.
Yes, this cultivar is considered deer resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof if food sources are scarce, it is generally avoided by deer in most garden settings.
The exfoliating bark is a natural ornamental feature that requires no maintenance. It peels away on its own as the plant matures, providing interesting texture and visual appeal throughout the winter months.
Pruning should be done immediately after the spring flowering period ends. Since it blooms on old wood, pruning later in the season may remove the buds for the following year's display.
The 'Pink Cloud' is hardy in USDA zones 4 through 8. It is well-suited for a wide range of climates, provided it is planted in well-drained soil.
