Interstella from Proven Winners displays out of this world lantern-like blooms that are delicately colored with a deep ruby tone. is one of the earliest blooming plants, starting its display of beautiful, bell-like flowers in late winter/ early spring. And there are hundreds of them, dangling delicately from fine stems against a gorgeous evergreen backdrop. The flowers persist through spring and when they are done, the plant begins a dazzling display of star-like bright red new growth. This is possibly the most shade tolerant flowering shrub, blooming well even in very low light conditions, and its deer resistant, too. This plant should not be regularly pruned or cut back, but you may selectively remove branches as needed to develop the shape you wish.
