Umbrella Bush

I look forward to this Beauty Bush blooming every year, however, the husband dreads it. He hates that it hangs over the walkway and can't walk under it, plus he says it always looks out of control (which it is). Over the years he has made the mistake of trimming it back before it blooms...not a good idea! A few years ago we compromised and both gave it a good trimming. It has grown back wonderfully and now the blooms can hang down without hitting him in the head. I think it looks like a beautiful pink umbrella this time of year! Enjoy!
