The blooms emerge before the leaves do, which really helps them stand out. Reminiscent of pink blooms in their puffed-out appearance and tropically bright colors, they are profuse and surprisingly long-lasting, held in almost horizontal "clotheslines" along slender stems. So graceful! Cut a few branches for the house, and let the rest light up the spring perennial border!
