Ruby Spice Summersweet. By far the deepest pink selection to date of this species, discovered as a branch sport of 'Pink Spires' by Andy Brand of Broken Arrow Nursery. In bud it is red, and as it opens it fades to a deep pink. Really quite outstanding with its 3-4" fragrant candles. It is a summer bloomer, flowering on current season's wood. They naturally grow in wet situations, but if kept properly watered, they do just as well on high ground. For best flowering, plant in full sun. This is a larger grower, reaching 6-8' in height.
