{{gwi:1202180}} (thumbnail, click to see full photo) isn't cane hardy in our zone but is a vigorous grower in spring. This one only gets a few inches of lawn clippings for protection. It was planted in 2001.

DD what a beauty! I can't wait to see how ours blooms this spring. So many blooms on yours. Thanks for posting your pic.

My pleasure :) That was about a third of the blooms on the bush. MC is a bloom machine. Don't know why it isn't higher on my favorites list. I look at it in bloom and think it should be in the top 5.... MC just hasn't grabbed me like some others have. MC is one of Deb's favorite 5 minis.
