6 - 7 (feet)

Each flower is about 1½" long and occurs in clusters of up to twelve in a variety of colors; pleasingly fragrant; flowers open before leaves in late May to early June; very hardy with no winter die-back in Anchorage.

Needs a moist, acidic, organic soil and protection from moose, which love the dormant flower buds in the winter.
