Very floriferous. This is my first full year year with this shrub. I did notice that during a week plus of daily rains the
'Aphrodite' dropped a lot of unopened buds. Closer inspection plus the desire to photograph a bloom revealed that the unopend buds dropped very easily from the slightest brushing. That was a disappointment. I think it was more the wet, cool weather than anything and it seems to not have suffered the loss of the blooms....still covered in opened blooms 2 weeks later.

Great plant will take sun, perfers hot to cool climates, but will survive freezes. Good in zones 2-24. Goes deciduous in winter and comes right back in spring. Sets few seed pods if any. It is a sterile triploid. Has a long blooming season. Late April through October in Citrus Heights Ca. Looks like a Hibiscus yet is very hardy.
